Congratulates him on the Order of Merit. A postscript by Cleopatra Bourdelle states that she has given the order to the foundry for the bust.

Paris - Antoine Bourdelle is unable to give a set date for sending the bronze bust to Glasgow Art Gallery; they have asked the founder to work as quickly as possible; the price is 100 pounds; 100,000 francs was never in question, that is for millionaires whose busts would not be in museums or libraries; her husband admires Sir James, as he does Anatole France, and is a whole other affair; the five bronze busts are 100 pounds each; she has not received a letter from Lord Crawford.

Paris - Thanks her for describing the day Frazer received the Légion d'honneur; the "fondeur" is very busy with work on the Exhibition in Paris in April and has not made the bronze bust yet; the Couchouds send their greetings.

Paris - Thanks her for the photograph of Frazer in 'his beautiful costume'; doesn't know when the bust will be ready; thanks her for trying to send their 'pretty friend' but must not tell her the fee would be 20,000 francs, but rather 100,000; he was happy to do the bust of Frazer and Anatole France for the amount as known men museums and collectors are interested in; her nephew John Bunand would be a better choice.
