Dear Mr. Wong:
I have received your valued letter of November 4th containing your promissory note for ten thousand dollars payable to my order to cover the advance of a like sum of American Gold dollars cabled to you on September 22, 1916.
The ten paintings which you shipped to me by the S.S. "Empress of Russia" I have learned arrived at Vancouver some days ago and are enroute from that port to Detroit via freight train. They should have been consigned by express from Vancouver as the risk and long delay by freight is greater than shoulde be given to valuable paintings.
After the ten paintings shall have reached Detroit I will make up a statement of account to include the 32 paintings shipped earlier, as per your letter of September 11th, and after deducting the $10,000.00 loaned, I will send the balance of money due you.
Your letter of November 4th states that along with the ten pictures above mentioned you have shipped to me twenty other pictures which I have not ordered and which you should not have sent without first getting my consent.
You also failed to send me any list or information about the twenty additional paintings and you should have given this matter more careful attention.
