SOCIETE ANONYME: Museum of Modern Art: 1920 ***

c.o.

Dear Mr. Feiniger:

On my return from a little vacation, which I needed, I found your most kind and understanding letter of August 20th.

I cannot tell you how truly grateful we are to you, besides being very happy at your offer to let us have, as a gift, a painting for our Collection which is doing such fine educational work.

We would naturally want to have it photographed and reproduced in the catalogue, in place of the little ones we have, which, I must confess I do love! If therefore, we could have it by the end of September, we would appreciate it enormously.

Will you, therefore, send it direct to:

The Collection of the Société Anonyme,
Yale University Art Gallery
New Haven, Connecticut.

Indeed we wanted Dr. Dorner, who knows and appreciates your work so highly, to write the paragraph about you for our Catalogue. He has been most generous in helping us to establish an ever-increasing appreciation of what our Collection stands for. Sections of the Catalogue are, of course, complete. But when dealing with 167 artists from 20 countries, there are still sections which must be finished. It is therefore not too late to accept your most generous offer.

Again thanking you for your great generosity, believe us,
with very deep appreciation
