Dear Mr. Fleischman:

On March 8, Mrs. Pope wrote to you regarding your proposed traveling exhibition. As this letter was signed in the absence of Mrs. Pope an error was made and not caught. I am extremely sorry and hope you will forgive us. What we should have said in the first sentence was "it was very kind of you to telephone Eleanor Powell regarding the proposed traveling exhibition of AMERICAN PAINTINGS from your collection." All other information in the letter is correct. We look forward to hearing from you soon regarding further details. 

Again my sincere apologies for this error. 

Sincerely yours,
Gladys E. Acton
Gladys E. Acton, Assistant Chief
Traveling Exhibition Service
