Clarence H Mackay, Esq.
253 Broadway, 
New York, N.Y.

Dear Sir,-
As per our conversation over the telephone with your secretary, we beg to confirm the arrival at this port of the steamer carrying the 77 cases containing the antique stone mantel and door and window frame in carved stone.

Our information is that the steamer docked at Staten Island and we therefore suggested to your secretary that these cases be lightered and towed to a point as near as possible to your property at Roslyn.

In order to be able to give exact information, we would ask you to be kind enough to state at which point you would like to have barge landed. We have not so far made any definite arrangements, but the above way of transporting the cases seems to be the most advantageous, unless of course you should desire to have them shipped in a different way.

We shall be obliged if you will please give us your instructions so that when the customs examination has been made no delay will occur in the removal of the cases from the dock, in order to avoid extra dock charges.
Very truly yours,
