Dear Mrs. Henry Heide: Having tried in vain to phone you last week, I am sending you these lines to inform you that all your miniatures are now in perfect order... I took the little crystal belonging to the small miniature to a lapidiary and he confirmed that it had received a deep scratch in the center which he tried in vain to polish out... It is a real rock crystal and not glass... It would give me pleasure to follow your suggestion that I come over and see the portrait which you had painted of your late husband, if it available and convenient for you. Mrs. Quistgaard and I hope that these lines will find you feeling better, and we send our kindest regards." Framed portrait approximately 6.25H x 4.75W in. Case approximately 8.5H x 7.0W in.
