New York, January 6th, 1902

Mr. Emil Brugsch Bey,
Cairo, Egypt

Dear Sir:

Not hearing from you in reference to the antiquities,
I again trouble you by asking if you would kindly let me know
what I am to expect.

Since my return to California I have changed the entire
arrangement of my Turkish antiquities by removing them to another
and larger room where I can spread out my collection to better
advantage; I have also taken another room in addition to it,
solely for the curios which I am expecting to receive from you.

I hope the illness of Mrs. Brugsch Bey has not been of
such a serious character and so prolonged as to have obliterated
from your mind our conversations in regard to these antiquities,
or prevented your arranging the catalogue which you are to send me.
I trust that she has entirely recovered and that you are both happily
settled in your old home in Cairo, with health and the peace of
God in your hearts which passeth all understanding.

If you will kindly let me hear from you regarding the
different matters above referred to, I will consider it a favor.
