My dear Miss Shore,

Thank you very much for your letter. We have indeed,
all of us suffered a very great loss, and I am not at all
surprised to hear you say that George Bellows rendered you
services when you needed them, in helping you to get private
pupies, and a position as a teacher.

There are not many people who came in contact with
George Bellows who do not owe him some debt of gratitude. He
was the kind of man who was useful. In just living his kind
of life he threw out benefits. All of us will miss him all
of our lives.

I am glad to hear of the progress of your work and
will most assuredly see your exhibition if I am still in
New York when it opens. I am leaving at the end of the month.

Miss Henrietta Shore,
152 West 57th Street,
New York City.
