that Mine Halicka's pictures were? I am writing with this same mail to
both Marcousis and Lefbre-Foinet only not writing French they may not
quite understand.

Tell me why are neither you nor Villon mentioned in Maurice Raynal
Anthologie de la Peinture en France de 1906 a Nos Jours. A copy was sent
me and arrived this morning. It makes me quite hot to think the way you
brother is left out these days. Might it not be a good thing to send
M.Reynal a copy of our Special Catalogue? If you will send me his address
I will do so or else send it to him care of his printer.

I had a long letter from John. He was very appreciative that you came to
see him when you were so busy. He and his friends called on Brancusi
and he tells me that the day before his house had collapsed. What a story
He wrote most amusingly about it. What do you suppose he meant.

The mail is closing and I ought to stop. But I must tell you that though
I would love a Redon I am so deep in debt that I may have to come to
Paris for the winter and rent your studio. As you know I owe you one 000
and then as soon as I can I want to buy the fish which is another 600.
And so it goes so I must simply call a halt.

I really must dash and mail this letter. Do write me soon again.

Always your most devoted friend and Adopted-Mother
