LEO CASTELLI (2) General matters: The enclosed proof speaks for itself. I am returning other copy to Art In America with approval (subject to your correction). Abrams (Amsterdam Office) is publishing book on Modern Sculpture and requests ektachrome of Chamberlain work. I am sending last large one of Colnel Splendid. Mr. Bela Zempleny ( who just rang off ) called with an inquiry by the State Dept. concerning RR's going to Europe next year as a sponsored 'resident artist' along with an exhibition of his work. Details still in planning - about 3 or 4 mos. If there is an interest more serious communication will be made with him (wherever) in September. Bob has a number of situations to be dealt with ( 1. he accidentally got $450 too much in Travelers Checks and hasn't responded to Hanover Trust's frantic messages for 2 mos. 2. Tony Holder has been working in his studio and needs his salary - $200). So since the company is being held in London I will try to call him at a number Yvonne Ranier now has. The State Dept. needs an immediate indication of interest. Will send you a follow up note on this. Benign resolution: Dick Bellamy said to tell you he prays for you every night. The plants are fine. Most cordial good wishes three times. [[signature]] Jim [[/signature]] 4 EAST 77 ST • NEW YORK 21
