Mrs. Ileana Sonnabend
37 Quai des Grands Augustins
Paris VIe
France

Dearest Ileana,

Just using the brief note system that we talked so much about, but never properly put into practice. I see from the Members catalogue of the Museum of Modern Art that Rauschenberg's illustrations of Dante's Inferno will be shown in Germany as follows:

Museum am Ostwall
Oct. 1-31

Dortmund and Hamburg, Germany
Nov. 1 - 30

I instructed Abrams to send you for the moment 10 copies of the Dante book. You will also receive 2 press copes without the litho to be given to 2 of your favorite critics in Paris (I guess Otto Hahn would be one of them). For the record the sales price of the book will be $300.00, your commission is 25%. As I am on the subject of the Dante books, would you like to handle them for all of Europe or can I send some copies directly to say Beatrice ?
