J. B. Stang Telegrafadresse: "SHIP." Telefon 22550 Oslo 11th April 1929 Messrs. De Hauke & Co. Inc. 3, East 51st Street New York. Dear Sirs, I thank you for your favor of 18th ult. contents of which noted. You are very probably right that the pastel of Degas will improve by a change of the frame. As to the question whether I may be willing to send the picture to Galerie Matthisen, Berlin, after the close of the New York season, I may say that I am not disposed to agree to it, being afraid that it will be of disadvantage to exhibit the pictures on too many places. I think I shall prefer to have the picture of Degas returned to Oslo, whilst the picture of Manet may remain in New York until further. Hoping to meet to this summer either in Paris or in Norway, I remain, with kind regards, Yours faithfully, J. B. Stang P.S. Please wire me if either of the pictures should be sold.
