Nov. 9/96.

Rufus E. Moore,
33 Union Sq., New York.

[[covered]] dear Mr. Moore:

I was in New York again last week for a couple of days, but a pressure of other matters prevented me from calling upon you. On my return home I find the two pieces of pottery and am glad to see that they are quite up to all that you said about them. I am pleased to add them to my little group and beg your acceptance of the draft inclosed herewith in payment therefor.

I also appreciate your kind invitation to visit you at your home and shall hope for early opportunity to do so. The political strain is at last broken in the west and things are beginning to assume normal conditions, and I judge ere long people who hereto-fore have been thinking principally of material things will have both time and patience to give to artistic things.

Yours very truly,
Charles L. Freer
