Transcript

November 25 1925 Mr. Geo D. Sack, 12 East 86th St. New York City. My dear Mr. Sack: Just a word to say that you will see us about as soon as you receive this letter. We expect to arrive in New York De- cember 1st and Mr. Irvin S. Cobb has reserved an apartment for us at 52 Gramercy Park, North. We are going to have a parlor suite and this time have our pictures at our hotel. Charlie will be much happier and I believe the work will be easier. We hope you will make our lit- tle gallery your play place while we are in New York. We have had such pleasure in remem- bering the friendship started last year and will be anxious to see you and your family. Sincerely,
