RL 915 THE ROYAL BANK BUILDING MONTREAL February 1st, 1939. My dear Bob, I was glad to hear from you and hope that you and your wife are doing well. With regard to my drawings, I may say that I have the larger part of them and those which I like best here in Montreal. Schaeffer still has a smaller number of them and I may also bring them back with me to Montreal on the occasion of one of my trips to New York. I am not very keen on selling any of them but for some of which I am not particularly fond, I might be willing to accept an interesting offer, although I do not want any efforts made in this connection. Concerning the Leonardo Exhibition, I should have been very glad to lend my drawing but really feel that in the case of Italy I have no particular reason for making an effort to render this country a service. Besides, I am still of Germain nationality and would not even have any protection if those fellows were to refuse to send the drawing back to me. I admit that in Italy there might still be left some equal rights for all, but I do not know just how far this goes, and although I should have liked to oblige Dr. Valentiner, I am sorry to say that I prefer to keep my "Bear" here. I hope to see you soon in New York and, in the meantime, with kindest regards to Helen and yourself in which my wife joins me, Sincerely yours, Ludwig Rosenthal Ludwig Rosenthal Robert M.
