August 7th., 1952.

Dear Muriel:

Thank you for your note and the copy of your letter to Mr. Seligman, which were here when I returned from Ithaca yesterday.

With the same mail was Mr. Seligman's answer to my question about magazine editors, etc. seeing the manuscripts at this time. He suggests appointments be made with any of the important periodicals for September 2nd., at the gallery. As the books will have to be brought from the warehouse, I suppose any appointment should be for the afternoon. But I want you also to know that he has signed the forms giving me access to the warehouse vault....so, if it seems absolutely necessary I suppose I can make a special trip down before then, should your contact be one of great importance, such as Life. I would, of course like at least 24 hours notice, and think such an appointment should be for 11: o'clock, as I would have to return the withdrawn manuscripts to the warehouse the same day.

I hope the above is clear. Now, how is your house going, and will you be able to get away for at least a night at the farm?

I'll cooperate towards your publicity in any way you suggest.

With best wishes,
Sincerely,
