Paris, April 30, 1965 Mr. E. de Wilde Stedelijk Museum Paulus Potterstraat 13 Amsterdam, H O L L A N D Dear Mr. de Wilde, When we saw each other in New York at Castelli's, you confirmed the date of June 1965 for your sculpture show. I see in the copy of your letter to Leo Castelli this morning that you have changed the dates to January-February 1966. I have sold four pieces of Bontecou's. The collectors had agreed to lend the works from June to October, as agreed between us. I now trust that your own persuasive powers will induce these collectors to agree to loan in 1966. There is a good chance that they will all agree, and I will send you a list of their addresses and of the works soon. With best regards, Ileana Sonnabend IS/mh cc: Leo Castelli
