    Dear Mr. Frick If there is anything I can do in the house you are now building please don't forget me!! & how proud & pleased I should be to help in ever so small a way in such a splendid dwelling. Even one room I would gladly do, of course if there was more so much the better but I think I am specially good at detail & the fitting up & the comfort of women's rooms the intimate little touches that no mere man, no matter how clever me may be can ever know. I am leaving for a little rest on Sunday next the first but I shall be back very soon & shall hope to see you. I remain, dear Mr. Frick, very sincerely, Elsie de Wolfe January 17th [1914]
