Mr. Edward S. Hull, Jr.,
31 Nassau St., New York.

My dear Mr. Hull

The lists showing numbers and prices of the books was delayed by the Post Office Dep't and did not reach the Astoria Hotel util after I had left New York. The mail clerk at the hotel however forwarded it to me and it is now in my possession, but as yet neither the prints nor the books have been received. The cause of the delay is shown by Mr. Reid's letter which I inclose you herewith. There is evidently some misunderstanding at Mr. Reid's office which I presume will eventually straighten itself out.

Yours very truly,
Charles L Freer
