COPY IN LETTER BOOK
New York, January 29, 1918.
My dear Roland:
I hand you herewith a letter from your artistic friend, the sculptor. I am sick and tired of this business. The busts he made of Adelaide are abortions and I propose to smash them; I have never liked them - they do not look like her. The one he made of me is equally unsatisfactory, and I do not propose to give him another sitting and I want it destroyed. I mean exactly what I say regarding this, and the next time I am in your establishment I propose to see that it is destroyed.
Settle with him, be liberal, and advise me the amount and I will send you a check.
I know that you did this all from the best motive, but my judgment in this matter, which intimately concerns myself, must be final.
Yours very sincerely,
[Henry Clay Frick]
Mr. Roland F. Knoedler,
556 Fifth Avenue, N.Y.
