115 [[Letterhead]] Imperial Hotels, Ltd. Tokio. (Imperial Hotel & Villa, and Metropole Hotel.) [[hotel insignia]] CARL FLAIG, Gen. Manager. Imperial Hotel & Villa [[/letterhead]] May 6th 1907 For Miss Rhoades consideration Dear Colonel Hecker, I have just found time to carefully examine the catalogue of of the Horace N. Allen. catalogue of Korean Pottery, which came to me a few days ago and am now wiring you "Please buy Allen collection Corean pottery. sidecut". From the descriptions given in the catalogue I am sure that a large number of a specimens are extremely rare and interesting - some probably unique. The better ones added to the pieces I already have, will place my collection of Corean pottery along with the best in existence. The price of $5.000. for the 80 pieces is really low. All kinds of ancient pottery in Japan is now fearfully dear - old Chinese, old Corean and first class Japanese has doubled in price
