Dear Monsieur Tchelitchew:

I was dissappointed not to have heard a word
from you, as I have been holding open the month of
March in which to give you an exhibition. But
as my next shipment leaves Paris January 15th,
it is now too late to plan an exhibition for this
year. Will you let me know in time whether or
not you think you will have completed enough
paintings (12-16) to plan an exhibition next
autumn, in which case I will also arrange to
send your show on a circuit to Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston, and Hartford.

I cannot understand why you sent your drawings
to me in a separate shipment. Why didn't you give
them to Wescott to bring over? He arrived the
same week as the drawings. In my letter of October
27th I expressly stated that "I am not willing to
spend any extra money on an additional shipment...
...perhaps, as I suggested before, one of your

friends coming to America might carry a package in
his trunk." I had to pay $28.50 for the package,
and so I hope you will think it fair if I deduct
that amount from the first drawing sold, or take
one of the drawings for myself?

Will you let me know, so there will be no
confusion, exactly how much I am to pay you for
each drawing. Last year you made a special
price of 400 frs. Considering the exchange at
present I should think it would be most reasonable
to continue that price, but if you prefer a price
of 500 frs. let me know immediately. That would
mean I would have to sell the drawings at $45. each,
which may prove somewhat difficult. But I am willing
to do whatever you decide.

I hope your affairs are happy and successful and
that you will have a good New Year.

willing to let George bring over as many drawings
as he wishes, at a lower price than you ask me,
and he has not got the facilities to sell for you
such as I have. I am glad to sell as much of your
work as I can, for our mutual profit, but I am
not a collector who is buying your work for my
private collection at any price. You are the
only painter who has not even offered to give
me a gift of one or two pictures in return for
the expenses I stand in shipping over your pictures
and introducing them here. I do not ask for such
a favor, but only mention that in the hopes that
you may understand my point of view, and consider
that we are working together to make a market for
your pictures here, that I am in collaboration and
not in competition with you. I have received
the picture from Demotte, and like it enormously.
It is, in my opinion, the best Tchelitchew that I
have over here. Will you let me know as soon as
possible the price? (How much you want for yourself,
and how much you suggest it should be sold for here)
I admire your work enormously, and know that
you are very industrious, and so hope for your
continued development. I look forward eagerly to
a letter from you, and hope also that you will send
me photographs of your new paintings when they are
completed.

My dear Julien:

I am writing Pavlik right away, in an effort to
clear up the situation about the ball. The situation
is this.

Pavlik is right in saying that we would give him $350
for the ball. Mrs. Bissell was in full charge of this.

She asked me to make a contract with Pavlik but this I did
not do. Mrs. Bissell felt very strongly and I think she
was perfectly right in this that Pavlik spent most of his
time in trying to get a large group from New York which
was more or less his business, that the fact that he
failed to turn up on several occasions when he said he
would, cost us quite a lot of extra money spent on
over-time for the carpenters and paperhangers. She wanted
to cut down on a lot of the things but I insisted on
carrying through the whole scheme as I thought it was
only fair to Pavlik. I felt that at a Pavlik ball the
committee should have their costumes designed by him.

This was extremely expensive. Bissell balked but again I
insisted, which meant that Helen had to pay about forty
dollars for her costume which she certainly couldn't
afford and that Bissell had to pay for all the costumes
for her horses which ran into a tidy amount, as well as
my partial payment for my horses.

The ball lost about a thousand dollars which
annoyed everyone especially the President. A great
deal of the blame fell on me. I suggested that the
deficit could be lowered as we had no money to pay for it
