Transcript

July 25, 1928 Mr. Erwin S. Barrie Grand Central Art Galleries 15 Vanderbilt Ave New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Barrie: Yours of July 13th received. If you can in- dicate to me the dates in November so that I may be able to reach Boston by the 18th as my exhibition there opens the 19th and I would be very happy to have that small panel room, if it is the one where the case of bronzes were last year I think there is a fire place in there, and the pictures that I will take to Boston I can have in New York first as there will not be many and it will hold the interest of the bronze exhibition I believe. I will be glad to work with the Russell things in the Grand Central Gallery again. Sincerely,
