HARVARD UNIVERSITY
FOGG ART MUSEUM
CAMBRIDGE, MASS., U.S.A

Feb. 16, 1918,

Charles L. Freer, Esq.,
33, Ferry Avenue, East,
Detroit, Michigan,

Dear Mr. Freer:

I write to thank you for your generous gift of $250 to the Fogg Museum to help install Mr. Wetzel's works of art. I am particularly pleased to receive it as the response from the Visiting Committee so far has been very small owing to the war, partly because some people will not give money to anything except war charities and partly because, as I said in my last letter, several of the members of the Visiting Committee are either in France or in the army. 

I am sorry to hear that you have not been well, and I hope that you will regain your strength soon and that a little bit later in the year you will feel like coming to Cambridge to see our Museum as well as the new acquisitions of the Boston Museum.

Yours sincerely,

Edward W. Forbes
