Dear Mr. Barrie, This is kind of too bad, because it is the fourth time I have asked you about the payment of the three horse pieces in bronze, sold by Mr. Lacey at my show last October. Really Mr. Barrie I don’t understand why the collections have not been made, and I have had no world form you regarding it. Please let me hear from you at the above address, and I would appreciate the money. Yours very truly, NCR S
