Transcript

Pasadena, California. November 25, 1930. Miss Gertrude R. Cummings, Grand Central Art Galleries, 15 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York City, New York. Dear Miss Cummings: Thank you for your letter of November 19th, straightening me out on the selling price of “Good Medicine”. You see I had had sort of a mix up over prices about six months ago- one concern saying I hadn’t the same price in all shops which I really have and I didn’t want another misunderstanding to come about. Not long ago I sent a bronze of “An Enemy that Warns” to your gallery. I hope it has been re- ceived. Sincerely,
