Mr. D. W. Tryon,
Harperlay Hall,
64th Street and Central Park West,
New York, N.Y.

Dear Tryon:-

Mr. and Mrs. Burton of Northhampton paid me a short visit recently, and I found them both very charming. Thier time was limited and consequently they saw only a few of the specimens of the collection. Mr. Laurence Binyon was my guest at the time and it gave me pleasure to introduce him to the Burton's.

Mr. Binyon is to lecture in New York at several different places, including Nontross' Gallery and I hope you will find it convenient to hear him. He is your type of man and scholar.

As yet the Detroit Publishing Company have not favored me with a copy of either of your paintings reproduced by them, but as I am to call at their gallery to see some portraits now there on exhibition, I will ask them to show me their copies of your works, after which I shall be pleased to write you more fully on the subject.

Mr.Livingstone, the owner of the Detroit Publishing Co. and I do not care much for each other and our mutual acquaintance is not of a very agreeable sort, but this fact shall not stand in the way of my co-operating.
