Dear Monsieur Tchelitcheff:

I hope you will excuse me for writing to you in English, but it is the only way that I can be sure that I am saying exactly what I mean to, and I am sure one of your many English speaking friends will translate for you. I expect to receive the shipment of pictures within the next week, but already have the list, and am delighted to see that you were able to send me four paintings. Please let me know - are the prices which you ask in your letter (200 frs, le No.) the prices which you are to receive from me, or the prices at which they sell to the public? I imagine they are the prices for the public, but wish to be quite sure. I regret extremely that you didn't send any of the drawings which I asked you to put aside. I had told you at the time that I was selecting all those which I liked, and asked you to send me as many as you could spare. You say that I have some still en dépot, but I have only three in the Gallery, and only perhaps four or five others that are out on approval at the Hartford Museum, which I hope I may sell. So you see I have scarcely enough to represent you. The others I either returned to you or to George Lynes. It is too bad, because a great number of people have asked to see more drawings, and I could have sold often. Also I have been invited to organise a Tchelitcheff exhibition in Chicago. That should be very important for you here, when we can arrange it. Perhaps if you are willing Munro and Glenway might bring drawings with them when they come over (in which case do not forget to have them "estampillé at the French douane for return into France) Regarding the gouache "L'Enterrement" I have looked up my records here, and find according to my memorandum that I paid you frs. 1,500. for two drawings at 400. frs. each "ferme" and fax 700 frs for the

Cher Monsieur Tchelitchew,

Je vous remercie beaucoup de votre lettre; j'ai bien reçu vos 4 toiles et j'avais cru vous avoir écrit, évidemment je doit avoir oubliez, car en Octobre j'ai été terriblement 'busy'. En Octobre j'ai prêté la Tête du Clown pour une exposition "Group show of young Europeans" au "Museum of Modern Art".

Ci inclu, un chèque pour 4 mille francs, pour la toile "La Loge", je trouve ce tableau très beau et surement un de vos meilleurs.

J'inclu aussi un chèque de 1.750 Francs. Je vous offre cette somme, pour la gouache sur laquelle nous avons eu tant de correspondance, et la gouache "La Glaneuse" que je veu vous acheter ferme. J'espère que cette somme vous sera agréable pour les deux gouaches, dans le cas contraire je ne pourrai pas vous acheter ferme "La Glaneuse" et je vous prierais de me renvoyer le chèque de 1750 francs et je vous en envirai un pour "L'enterrement" et d'avoir la bonté de me dire combien vous en voulez, je vous avait demandé le prix dans ma dernière lettre.

Mais je serai très content si vous l'acceptez, comme je ne pourrai pas vous payer plus à ce moment, et on pourra liquider nos dispute et on re-commencera unepage nouvelle avec l'achat de la loge et en etant d'accord sur vos prix.

Je suis content que vous m'avez envoyé 20 dessins (que je n'ai pas encore reçus) car on me demande très souvent de vos dessins et j'ai la certitude d'en vendre aussitôt que je les recevrait.

Les affaires ont l'air d'aller mieux, mais la fluctuation du dollar rend mes affaires très difficile, vous ne pouvez pas vous imaginer les complications qui nous arri vent.

Votre ami le Comte de Bieville, un homme charmant, m'a apporté les photos de vos tableaux il y en

Dear Mr. Tchelitchew:

I was delighted to receive a letter from
you, and very glad to hear that you are
planning to come to America this fall. I had
not written to you, as I had despaired of
having an exhibition of your work this year.
As you know I have always offered you an
exhibition, but each time you have had no
new work, or all your paintings were in
London and being sold. I will reserve the
dates of either November 5- Nov. 19
or Dec. 12 - Jan. 12 for you (the latter date
is the better, if it proves convenient for
you) I should much prefer to have the show
when you are here personally, so that we can
have a party and a special vernissage.

Will you let me know as soon as
possible if either of those dates are
possible for you. You can consult with
Mme. Lloyd in selecting the pictures, and
send them over either with my shipment which
she is arranging for September 15th, or bring
them over on the boat with you, whichever is
cheapest and easiest.

Agnes Rindge is with my as I write this
letter, and wishes me to send you her regards.
Also best regards from my wife and myself.
