ILEANA SONNABEND
37 QUAI DES GRANDS AUGUSTINS             PARIS VI
JAN SHOW

25 oct. 65

Dear Leo, 

I just tried to call you, but the operator said you would be back at 3A.M. our time-- nine in the evening in New York. Since I will not be very talkative at 3 tomorrow morning I thought I'd better write to ask you about the possibility of lending one of the Rauschenberg EMPIRES and an explosion of Roy's to Baden-Baden. and Berlin

Dietrich Mahlow in Baden-Baden is getting the American sculpture show that has just closed at the Musée Rodin and is very eager to complete the exhibition with some good pieces.  I'm lending him the Bontecou and would like to be able to have the other two in the show as well.  They have already begun to print the catalogue, so please answer by telegram--it will probably have to be done fast. 

Everything is fine here. Closing the deal with Larry at last.  See you very soon. 

Love
Il
