My dear Mr. Stieglitz:

Thank you very much for your letter of August twenty-seventh. I would appreciate it very much if you would immediately have the group of pictures which you are going to lend the Société Anonyme for the big International Exhibition sent to the Brooklyn Museum, where all the pictures are being assembled.

You will be very much interested to hear that I will most likely have twenty-three countries represented in this Exhibition, so that I believe it will be a very important affair this coming season.

I am to have a small section of photographs from Man Ray and I am writing to ask, if you will not give me the great pleasure of letting me have about six of yours.

I am especially anxious to have you represented in this Exhibition, as I am issuing a very important catalog in conjunction therewith. In this catalog there will not only be a reproduction of a work of every exhibitor, but also a photograph of the artist. Each artist represented will receive a copy, besides which a hundred will be sent to various museums throughout the world - the balance will be sold for ten dollars a piece.

Will you, therefore, be so kind as to send me a photograph of O'Keeffe, Marin, Dove and yourself and I shall group them as the Stieglitz Group, just as I am grouping the Cizek group as the Cizek Group and the "Sturm" as the Sturm Group.

I can assure you that the greatest care will be taken with each picture and as I am personally going to supervise the hanging and as I am constantly working with the Museum and have a special room in which the more fragile things are put, I do not see why you need have any fear of any accident occurring.

The Brooklyn Museum and I are trying to make this an educational exhibition and we hope to have three lectures in the large main room where the Exhibition is to be held. Besides this one room, I am going to have three other rooms, four in all. It would mean a great deal to all of us, if you would come and be a speaker one afternoon in December. May I count on you ? If possible, I want my speakers decided upon before the next Quarterly is out in
