Mrs. John L. Pratt Chatham Fredericksburg, Virginia

Dear Mrs. Pratt,

Just a line to let you know that I am planning to have an exhibit at my galleries, beginning November first, of the work of CARL FABERGE, and I thought you may be willing to loan me some of the lovely things you own. Although I really hate to put you to all this trouble, but maybe you could just have someone pack the things that you want to lend to me, and send them railway express, insured, at my expense.

So far I have only borrowed the big Easter egg, but I do not know whether I will have anything else outside of my own things.

Believe it or not, Paul is asking about you and sends his love, in which Mrs. Schaffer joins him.

With kindest regards and best wishes,

Cordially, Alexander S. Schaffer [signed]
