Harley Perkins Esq.
"Boston Evening Transcript"
Boston, Mass.

Dear Mr. Perkins:

Thank you for your delightful review in the "Transcript". I have been passing the last ten days with my mother in Worcester, and we had already enjoyed reading your comment.

The DIAL has decided to insure the Dial Collection annually against all risks with Lloyd's of London. We are therefore in a position to offer the exhibition to museums and clubs in different parts of the country, providing these museums and clubs will stand the cost of packing and transportation. This means that the cost of holding the exhibition will be less than half of the cost to the Worcester Museum, which had to pay both the cost of insurance and transportation. If I remember correctly, the cost of insurance was the stumbling block to your project to have the collection at the Club in Boston. Would you, under these circumstances, care to have the exhibition in Boston, and if so, on what date. I regret that we did not reach our decision earlier so that you could have had the exhibition when you desired and before the exhibition in Worcester.
