CABLE ADDRESS 
"ALBGAL BUFFALO"

THE BUFFALO FINE ARTS ACADEMY
ALBRIGHT ART GALLERY
BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov. 5th, 1925.

Mr. Henry O. Tanner,
51, Boulevard St. Jacques, 
Paris, France.

H 4500. -

My dear Mr. Tanner:

I take pleasure in inviting you to exhibit your picture "The Two Disciples at the Tomb", now in the Carnegie Institute exhibition for our Twentieth Annual exhibition of paintings by American Artists. The exhibition dates are as follows: April 23rd to June 21st. This would permit you to enter the same canvas in the Pennsylvania and Baltimore exhibitions, but not in the Spring Academy.

Our exhibition of American Paintings is this year selected with the greatest care, as we are obliged to cut its size about fifteen percent. I would appreciate it if you would indicate your intentions by return mail, so that we may make our plans for our catalog.

It is needless to say that our exhibitions have, in the past, been a source of a good many sales, some of them of considerable importance, and that we have a professional salesman in the gallery throughout the period of the exhibition.

In submitting your enclosed entry slip, kindly read instructions carefully, as it will save unnecessary coorespondence and delay.

The Albright Art Gallery, in inviting your painting, will pay for its boxing, transportation and insurance both ways, unless the picture is sent from our Gallery to another exhibition, in which case, the Albright Art Gallery bears only the expense of bringing the painting to its walls, and its responsibility ceases upon delivery to the express company at the close of the exhibition.

Faithfully yours,
Wm M Hekking
Director.

If Mr. Tanner has an American representative, please turn this letter over to the right party. Wm H.
