having them framed and shall value them as much as I admire them.

My son-in-law Marquis de Chambrun comes to Vienna for a week or two and I hope that one of those days I may bring him to your

atelier; asking you on the day if it is convenient for you.

M. de Chambrun admired so intensely your works at the 1902 Salon the Grammonts [sic]^[1] [illegible] that he has never failed to express his hope to see your other works and has continually spoken

Sincerely Yours,

Bellamy Storer
