June 28th, 1938
Dear Mr. Gallatin:

 I wish to acknowledge and thank you for your very kind letter of June 21st written from Paris. I am addressing this letter to you in New York so that you may have it upon your arrival here.

 I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you most heartily for the generous spirit of your letter in cooperating so willingly in our forthcoming enterprises.

 As I wrote you previously, I am sending a great deal of the material for the catalogue to the printer during the summer months, so as to alleviate any great rush or pressure at the last minute. Therefore, I should appreciate your sending me the photographs of the Braque and Gris as well as the photographs which you have taken of Picasso and Braque as soon as is possible after your return. At the same time, I should appreciate your filling out the blanks which I sent you for cataloguing and insurance purposes and returning them to me.

 I am delighted that you will allow us to reproduce some unpublished photographs which you took of Picasso and Braque. I was wondering if you could send me these and allow me to make a selection. I promise faithfully to return those which I do not use.

 Although I will be away from New York the better part of the summer, I will be constantly in touch with the office, so that you can address all correspondence and mail the photographs here.

 With renewed thanks for your generosity in this matter,

Believe me to be

Yours very sincerely,

(Robert M. Levy)
