Transcript

August 17, 1937 Miss Ruth W. Heaney Sec. to Mrs. Nancy Russell 725 Michigan Blvd. Pasadena, Calif. Dear Miss Heaney: I find your note of July 29th on my return from my vacation. The bronze was sold to go into a large public collection in a gallery in the Middle West. We allowed them a 10% museum discount which is customary in the trade. As a matter of fact most galleries allow 20% but we only allowed in 10% in this case. Yours truly, [signed] Erwin S. Barrie ESB:RB Manager
