33 Ferry Avenue, East,
Detroit, Michigan,
December 24th,1908.

Mr. Kano Oshima,
15 West 31st, Street,
New York City,
N. Y.

Dear Sir-

Your letter of December 19th, and the Siamese pottery vase, are both received. I have examined the vase most carefully, and am sorry to confess, that it does not impress me as an object worthy of adding to my collection of Oriental pottery. I, of course, do not doubt its genuineness, but it strikes me as being absolutely without aesthetic beauty, so, I am returning the vase to you by express to-day, charges prepaid.

Believe me,

Yours truly,
Charles L Freer
