Dear Dewing:

We reached here yesterday morning in good shape after having had a very comfortable trip out. So many things came up yesterday I found it impossible to write to Miss Lazarus but will do so to-day.
 
I am sending you this morning by express to your New York address all of the Whistler paper I have. The sight size of Whistler’s “Blue Girl” in pastel is 10 1/4” high by 6 3/4" wide. For this picture he used the same paper as I am sending you to-day. I hope you will find the same to your liking.

I find in my morning’s mail a letter from “Tommie”, written last Saturday afternoon, stating that after my departure he saw Mr. de Morgan, his partner, and that de Morgan would not join him in the business under discussion. Clarke also writes that he wishes to repeat to me that he is extremely anxious to submit a number of Mr. Inness’s finest pictures, also anything from his own cabinet in 34th St. or Fifth Ave. in the way of Chinese porcelains or potteries or Greek art owned by him, also states that nothing in the loan display at the Academy is for sale. To this letter I shall reply that I have no desire to have any further business with him and shall send the large Inness to New York and place it on sale.

Hastily yours,
C.L. Freer

Mr. T.W. Dewing,
