Transcript

December 18, 1928. Mr. Blen [sic] Campbell, 3 Washington Square, North, New York City. Dear Mr. Campbell: I have planned to acknowledge the six monotypes you allowed me to bring home with me. I have not been able to get into the City with them as the old man “cold” came home with me and I have been in the house ever since I arrived. However, I want to try and see if I can dispose of some of them for you. This is for your file in acknowledge- ment of having the monotypes in my possession. The seasons greeting to you all. Sincerely, NCR:ED
