Dear Miss Stettheimer:

I am chagrined that I have not had an opportunity
to pay you a visit on the two trips which I have made to New
York this fall. I have been trying to collect material for an
exhibition of the Life of Christ which we are holding at Easter
time, and the job has consumed practically every minute of my
time.

I am planning to be in New York at Christmas time
with my family, and hope that I may have the pleasure of seeing
you then.

The dates for the exhibition are now set from
January 9 to February 1, 1948. As I told Kirk Askew, we became
involved with another exhibition, and I decided to postpone,
with his approval, the exhibition of the Stettheimers until
these dates. We will look forward to having you here in
Hartford, and I hope that you will plan to have lunch or any
other meal with me when you come.
