Albright Gallery
Buffalo, N.Y.

My dear friend,-

Your charming note of November 21st to hand.

We will gladly send you our tapestries to be exhibited at your Museum, if that date seems proper to you, to have them exhibited from January 1st to January 15th next, that is for a period of a fortnight.

I am sending you by same mail the catalogue of the San Francisco Exhibition, which will give you all the date re: history, make, period, etc. of these tapestries. They are mentioned in this catalogue under Nos. 5, 38, 53 to 56.

I am sorry to say that I cannot send them all to you, as I would have liked to, because they are not all available any more, but those that you will have are the best examples of their type, and I am sure you will realize it.

We will do all we can to please you, that is we will pay the expenses of sending them out to Buffalo, sending them back to New York, and also the insurance. Perhaps, if you can, will you help us out in this latter matter and pay half the insurance expenses.

Anyway, you can count upon these tapestries and start right away your preparations to exhibit them from Jan. 1st to 15th.

On the enclosed list, you will find the description of these tapestries I repeat again, they are very fine documents of their kind, especially the early Gothic one, which is probably the finest and most important known of its type.

You propose so very nicely in the P.S. of your letter to do your best
