Whistler's family are greatly pleased with St. Gauden's memorial.

The Hanna collection far surpasses in importance in all directions, my deepest hopes.  I am amazed that it should have been on the market nearly twenty years without finding a buyer.  It [[underlined]] is [[/underlined]] doubtless [[underlined]] unique in the world [[/underlined]].  Another like the Corean! I know nothing of the pecuniary value of Indo-Persian paintings but hope to learn something reliable in Paris.  I can't hope to equal your Corean terms, but I don't want to lose in this proposed deal all the rich profit you made for me with the gentlemen of Toledo.  Your example is an inspiration. Sincerely always Charles L Freer
