Mrs. John L. Pratt Box 118 Fredericksburg, Virginia
Dear Mrs. Pratt,
I am very sorry you didn't have a chance to come in while you were in New York, as I have some very beautiful pieces that I know you would have greatly enjoyed seeing.
I am going abroad on Wednesday, the 23d, and will take some of them with me for a client in London. I don't know who long I will be. I hate to leave Mrs. Schaffer and the baby, but I guess I will have to.
I am carefully packing and shipping the things to you, as I have them all photographed now. I am enclosing the photographs and the histories in the package.
With kindest regards and best wishes,
Sincerely yours, Alexander S. Schaffer [signed]
