Oct. 22/96.

Mr. Harrison S. Morris,
Managing Director, Penna. Academy of Fine Arts,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir:

Earlier reply to your letter of Oct. 7 prevented by my absence. I am obliged to you for the information as to how your exhibition is managed. After receiving your personal request for the loan of my pictures, I did not in the least realize that “the whole conduct of the exhibition including selection and hanging was in the hands of artists chosen by election”. This does not reassure me, and I regret that I cannot reconsider my decision.

Yours truly,
Charles L. Freer
