Woodstock, New York July 22, 1942 Mr. Harry S. Mendell Dell Publishing Company, Inc. 149 Madison Avenue New York, New York Dear Mr. Mandell: Thank you for your letter of July 21. I was rather surprised to find that the designs have to be carried out immediately. As I stated in my last letter I am very interested in doing whatever I can for China War Relief but at the present moment my time is fully occupied with running a summer painting class, working on a war poster for the government, and trying to do my own painting besides. I am very sorry that I wont be able to do the sketches for some time but at a future time I will be very glad to cooperate. Sincerely yours,
