To the Secretary,
Cosmopolitan Club,
133 East 40th Street,
New York.

Dear Madam:

May we ask you to put the enclosed notice of our
Exhibition on your Bulletin Board? The Societe Anonyme Inc.
was started last spring to meet the growing need in New York
of Americans being able to study the modern movements in Art.
The enclosed circular will show you that we are entering
our Fourth Exhibition, and will also give you an idea of the
men who we represent.

It is only by becoming intelligent on the spirit
that moves the modern world that we will know how to meet it
and accept it, for there is every indication that we are en-
tering a new era, not only in the line of art, but in the line
of philosophy and science.

All art which will be exhibited at our Gallery will
not mean that we personally feel it will leave a permanent im-
pression upon Art, but if it is a decided expression of today
by serious thinking people, it ought to be shown and studied.

A small Reference Library in connection with our
Museum will keep members and visitors in touch with the art
movements in France, Italy, Germany, Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia,
Spain, Holland and Russia, as well as our own country.

Can we count on your placing our Exhibition notices
on your Bulletin Board every six weeks - and would it be per-
missable to leave a number of copies on the desk for distri-
bution?

Thanking you, believe me,

Yours sincerely,

THE COSMOPOLITAN CLUB

My dear Miss Dreier,

In paying your dues and house charge
bill on Nov. 25th you sent us the bill dated Oct. 1st,
which showed your September house charges instead of
the bill showing the October house charges and dues.
This accounts for the $ 1.51 being short paid. We
wish to apologize for not adding this amount to your
November bill and trust it has not caused you any
undue annoyance. Assuring you that this will not
happen again, I am,

(Mrs. George M. Bodman)

My dear Mrs. Chisolm:

Thank you very much for your letter, which
I have just received, asking me to speak at one of
the Club Luncheons in March on Modern Art.

I should be very glad to do so and could
speak either on the 15th or the 22nd. The end of
February, beginning of March I shall be in Buffalo
with my International Exhibition and the end of March
beginning of April. I shall be in Toronto, but I shall
be glad to give you either of the two dates mentioned.

Thanking you for the opportunity of speaking on
this subject, believe me, with appreciation,

Very sincerely yours,

Mrs. Richard S. Chisolm,
The Cosmopolitan Club,
133 East 40th Street,
New York City.

My dear Miss Dreir;

I am so glad you will speak at one of the club lunches, I have booked you for March 15. Shall we name the talk "Modern Art" ? And shall I announce you as the President of the Societe Anonyme ? Also, is there any one you would like to ask to introduce you, in a two minute introduction ? A member of the club, of course.

My dear Mrs. Chisolm:

Thank you very much for your letter and I have
noted the date, March fifteenth.

Please, by all means announce me as the Presi-
dent of the Société Anonyme and I prefer to have the
talk called "Regarding Modern Art" or "What about Mo-
dern Art" either one.

I have written with this same mail to Mrs.
O'Day to ask if she would introduce me, and I hope
that she will.

Again thanking you for this opportunity of
explaining our point of view in Art to the Club Mem-
bers, believe me,

Sincerely yours,
