from Lake George, NY

You have started an experience suitable to your nature. You must see it through
completely to be of any lasting value. Do not let any letters deviate you, either
mine or those of others nor anyone else's advice. You know my ideas. I am calm
and shall remain so as long as I live am well very much love

Alfred.

July 17

Under no conditions may you come East unless
to Chicago where I could meet you. Lake G.
is not the place for either of us but since
receiving your letter from Santa Fe this
morning I feel you should complete your stay
in Taos, and I am sure that when you get there
It will be important. Paul all right. Every-
thing well. Love from us to both of you.

Rebecca Strand, July 17th

Will spoil everything for everyone if
Georgia comes back East before she in-
tended. She must not come under any
conditions. Do persuade her to listen
to me. Her letter this morning from
S.F. makes everything right again
between us. She must finish her stay
in Taos. I am very quiet and sensible
since her letter came this morning. And
p promise to remain so. Wire me she is
following my wishes and is not coming
and will complete what she went for.
That to me is important above everyt in
I guarantee that I am quiet. Very much
love

No word from you in three days. G. has written Stieglitz she is coming
no matter what he may say. He wants to meet her in Albany. Are you
coming with her. If so I will be at Albany with our car and we can
go somewhere together. Please wire me. Much love dearest one. Paul

Buffalo 8:25 O.K.

Please don't go. Alfred must help himself in the end like all of us.
Letter from him this morning quite self-victorious. Have written you every
day lately. Convalescing beautifully. Looking forward to home. Love, Mabel

L.G. GOK 10:45

Three letters together just now. Good they came in that way. None in 3
days. But I was quiet. Yes, come. We need each other. I want to meet you
in Albany. We will stay there a night and go to Canada or Maine or anywhere.
I shall pack up and bring my trunk. I feel about everything exactly as
you do my great child. Wire me what day and time your train gets to Albany.
I shall be there. Very much love. Alfred

Anderson Galleries,

New York City.

Gentlemen:

Would it be possible for you to furnish bills showing the
date of purchase and amount paid by Mrs. Palmer for the oil painting
of a red canna by O'Keefe and the Marin water color, both of
which were bought through your galleries some considerable time ago.
Any information which you can furnish in regard to these paintings
will be much appreciated - the information is needed for the
purpose of properly insuring the paintings.

Mr. Carleton H. Palmer,
80 Beekman Street,
New York, N.Y.

Dear Sirs

I am in receipt of your letter of July twenty-fourth. You are
in error in assuming that the painting in question was purchased from The
Anderson Galleries, as we have no record of such a sale on our books. No
doubt it was bought directly from The Intimate Gallery, which is conducted
by Mr. Alfred Stieglitz and which is located in The Anderson Galleries build-
ing. I am writing to Mr. Stieglitz today, as he is away for the summer, for-
warding your letter to him and asking him to get in touch with you.
