#33 Ferry Avenue, East,
Detroit, Michigan.

March 13, 1914.

Dear Mr. Peters:

In reply to your kind letter of the 10th instant, I have just wired you:

"I shall be at home on Wednesday morning next and delighted to show my collection to Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Havemeyer and Mr. James Barney. Kindly extend invitation to them,"

and now confirm the same.

I shall be much pleased to see Mr. and Mrs. Havemeyer and Mr. Barney at my residence here on Wednesday morning next, the 18th instant. If they will call at my house as early after their arrival in Detroit as may be convenient for them, say ten o'clock, I shall be very pleased to show them through the collection, and if they will take luncheon with me, I shall be delighted. I fancy that they will be leaving the same afternoon or evening en route to the Pacific Coast and after their arrival here if they will let me know which train they intend to take from Detroit, we can arrange the luncheon hour accordingly. It will give me real pleasure to meet your friends at my home, not only for the purpose of showing them a few Oriental objects but also to talk with them, concerning their visit to Japan and China. 

I am glad to know that the Exhibition of Pottery progresses so favorably. I have already received numerous messages of appreciation, and I shall never regret my small share in the enterprise.

Yes, thanks, I reached home safely but the trip hither was a pretty hard one, and it left me somewhat uncomfortable for two or three days but I am glad to say that I am feeling much better this morning.

Trusting that you are keeping very well and with cordial regards to Mrs. Peters and yourself, I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Samuel T. Peters, Esq.
Washington Building,

New York, N.Y.
