Transcript

725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California. June 22nd, 1935. Mr. E. S. Barrie, Grand Central Art Galleries, 15 Vanderbilt Ave., N ew[sic] York, New York. Dear Mr. Barrie: Your Letter of June 13th received. I have no doubt most artists are having a terrible time but in the future, should you have an offer for one of my bronzes, let me know before you sell it at a price less than I have quoted. The bill coming from the Grand Central Gallery made me think this piece had been sold at the main gallery and not the Fifth Avenue establishment. I do not want to cut prices on the bronzes and I am getting along fine and dandy for which I am thankful. Very truly yours,
