Dear Minnie,
I have been waiting all this time, hoping to hear from my friend in Palo Alto, but no word yet. In the meantime, an organization that Mr. Parker, of our committee of last year, belongs to, may want to have an exhibition of your work, here in New York. I expect to hear from him very soon more about this. I think it will be possible, but am not sure. Of course there would be the possibility of selling, but nothing sure. 

With this possibility in mind, I think it will be better for us to keep most of your work here until after this show. As for your friend, Mr. Henshaw, I think that if you trust him it would be a fine idea to let him see what he can do with your pictures. Ask Mr. Rountree to write him and have some agreement with him, or keep in touch with him. It is true that there might be a good market for you in California. We can send him the materials we have for printing announcements and things like that, but preferably after this New York show, if it turns out that you will have one. I have about a hundred of the enclosed cards. As you can see, the bottom could be cut off and new time and place written in. If we do not use them for the show here, I can send them to you or to Mr. Henshaw, as you prefer.

I will let you know soon, I hope about Mr. Parker's group. I would be glad to see some of your new work, if you would like to send it. But do not spend money on frames. We know better what kind of framing people in New York like.

Take care of yourself, you are very precious to a lot of people. 

With love from Mr. Starr and me, and our greetings to your mother,
affectionately,
Nina Starr

P.S. Palo Alto is where Leland Stanford University is. I suppose it is the same Stanford University that Mr. Henshaw is at. Is he a teacher?
