Dear Bill:

Thank you for referring Mr. Newton's letter and transparency to me. Between the two of us we should certainly mess the guy up good. However, I am writing him now to advise him that I will do some research and will help him in every way possible.

You won't have to wait much longer to see your article on Sheeler, as the catalogue being published by the U.C.L.A. is off the press and ready for binding. Furthermore, Art in America, a quarterly magazine, is running all the text and practically the entire catalogue in a special issue devoted to Sheeler. Thus your wonderful article (I sneaked a preview) will appear in both and should be distributed by the first of October. If you would like galleys, I shall be glad to write to Fred Wight and to Jean Lippman, the respective editors.

I, too, recall your visit and wish it were possible to meet frequently. It is always a great lift for me and I treasure all my contacts with you - as my favorite writer and a favorite person.

My very best regards to you and Flossie.

egh-k.
