Suggestions for packingunderlined the 29 paintings
any loose tacks should be carefully removed
from the boxes, they are liable to get stuck and
scratch, in transit.
The Top boards of each box are lettered so as
to fit letters on the sides of the box.
The screwsunderlined should be used again! not
nails for closing the tops
The paintings place two-facingunderlined each other
or frame and picture towards frame and picture
so that each pair of 2 pictures lies Back
to Back with each other pair. No dusty
loose excelsior. It is best to tie together
each pair, Since the express men on trains
throw the boxes any old way regardless of
top and bottom, no matter how one labels them!
