Transcript

725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California. September 15, 1933. Mr. G. T. Nelson Grand Central Art Galleries, 15 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, New York. Dear Mr. Nelson: Your two letters regarding the Rogers bronze have been received and I am willing to see what I can do when I see Mr. Rogers again. You know he is about the busiest man in the world and on the move eternally so is hard to catch. However, I see Mrs. Rogers quite often and I shall ask her to do this favor for your client. I hope conditions will pick up in the art world and that you will sell some more Russell bronze this win- ter. My kindest regards to all my friends in the gallery. Sincerely, NCR:H
