Transcript

Trail’s End, 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California Dr. Philip G. Cole, c/o A. Schrader & Son, 470 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Dear Philip: I am sending by today’s mail a photograph of Father De Smed painting. The painting is now in Montana and I am leaving the first week in June – so you should have the picture in your possession by the 15th. I will send by express from here the frame and illuminator which I have had specially made for that picture. If it does not fit where you want it, please take care of it until our exhibition in the fall, as I want the picture for that without fail. I am down town and haven’t your letter so can’t answer questions – but wanted you to know the photo- graph was sent and the picture is on its way to be delivered to you by the 15th of June. Kindest to you all, Sincerely,
