March 25th, 1929, 
My dear Dr. Holmes:- 
In reply to your note of the 20th, let me say 
that you are, of course, entirely welcome to photographs 
of any thing, or things, in the Freer collection that you 
like best, and I am sending herewith for your examination 
our albums of sample photographs, so that you may know what 
is at your disposal. If, however, you should have in mind 
any object not represented in the albums, I shall be glad 
to have photographs of that object made 1 
Yours very truly, 
J. E, Lodge, 
Curator. 
Dr. William H. Holmes, 
Director of the national Gallery of Art.
