481 (356) March 19/98. My dear Mr. Griffith: Replying to your letter of 17th inst., at the present moment I do not think of any picture in my little group that I could spare for the exhibition at Omaha, but I will think it over more fully to-morrow, after which you will hear from me further. I am very pleased that the leading artists are responding favorably to your invitation to exhibit their work. The plan to purchase rather thank give medals and prizes seems to me a good one and a scheme that might be followed with advantage by other exhibitions. I hope to see you some day next week and have a chat with you about several matters I have in mind. Yours truly, Charles L Freer Mr. A. H. Griffith, C/o Detroit Museum of Art, City.
