at 8 o'clock, and found a card with a phone number. So I just went in for nine o'clock. Well, I found it was good, but I do feel queer sitting in this hotel without you, wants a phone for nine o'clock. You'll be any way to hear and tell write again to night. Wonder how long they are with you in any change?

The trip down was rather wet, but it's long, and in the heat I'll bet I won't know. Remember me to everyone if you hold them.

She seems hard for me to write because somehow, I cant get over the furminess of it all. I like a dream.

But she really looks great - fuller than last year and so lovely. I wish you could be here. Since there is a farm, she has been here in town and having

We very good time friends that are Ford of her, and always don't say anything to you. Just as you said. Of course we ones who see her as you do, no equivalent of 29, I don't know. She seems to love the place and it is very lovely - a certain holiday feel, a color and a movement so different from New York. The place is alive and yet not the brutal aliveness of N.Y. where everybody just goes and goes because they don't stop. Well we tumbled in the party

You. It is all so close and I'm not yet accelerated. That I'm afraid the picture is not very good.

After the lapse when I spoke to you, she suddenly said, "The Duvand lies to talks to him" And then later when I said that I didn't know what this was, I said a sort of what she miged have gone East. She said that she had not decided yet about ten in this summer in Canyon and then someone said she could see herself in New Yorks yet. So I said we would talk it out later on. She said that had a

What She feels about it - all

course there's physical condition. As
I said She looks splendid, and
so-day at least very happy. She
was very surprised that I came
and she is glad.

I'm taking a room at a boarding
home to night and we're considering
going out to eat at Waring's,
possibly to morrow. Georgias is
any ways for me to see San Antonio,
but if it gets very hot, we will
go. The morning was cool but
the afternoon pretty hot again.

There is no doubt that we will go to Warning and I hope so because front to back to behind.

The new works have been sent yet. I think on account of the sudden departure from the farm.

It is only there, so you need no worry about the passing time.

I'll try to get her to land it to you as soon as possible.

That's about all now.

Only wish you could see her now well she looks. She said today "We must mean to be friends again".

As I feel that she has won much more than half of that battle if there is no germ.

## Foreword

FROM more than 1100 pictures submitted by 250 workers the Judges have selected the fifty-five mentioned in this Catalogue as being worthy of special notice.

While these are the only pictures hung in this Twelfth Annual Exhibition, the average quality of all pictures submitted this year is superior to that of any former exhibition.

For many years we have been endeavoring to lead beginners and camera workers to study the art of picture making by photography. We believe our efforts have had some influence in stimulating among camera workers the growth of a sense of the pictorial.

We are very much indebted to Mr. Alfred Stieglitz and to the other Judges of this and past years for many valuable suggestions. These men give their services for the sake of encouraging camera workers everywhere to see things from an artist's viewpoint, and reproduce them for the pleasure of others.

We appreciate the co-operation of the public, which makes this exhibition the finest of all so far held, and trust that the interest will increase and next year's exhibition be finer still.
