ADI Gallery, Inc. 530 McAllister Street San Francisco, California 94102 415:621-0602 19 April 1974 Mr. Robert Reid Dear Robert: Farley Young from ADI SOUTH brought by a nice surprise yesterday. Lovely watercolors by Robert Reid. He also brought along some slides of your paintings, but you know how slides are..would be so nice to be able to see the real things. Do they have the same soft, serence qualities that your watercolors have? We would be very interested in getting some of your oils for the gallery. I suppose that Farley told you about the activity here, etc. Figures on the Beach, Rock House with Figs, etc. are really appealing. Would you be interested in sending out some of your oils (rolled very carefully) and we could stretch them here. Shipping stretched canvasses, as you are probably aware is frightening. Very happy to see that you are from Atlanta. I am from Greer, South Carolina and spent a lot of my childhood in Atlanta. We would be very interested in working with you and even talking about doing a show with you at some point. It would be awfully nice to get you into a couple of collections and have your work seen around initially and then follow on from there. Anyway, seeing your work was a real pleasure. Think that I am excited about it as much as Farley. Let us hear from you soon. If you see Louise, tell her we miss her very much, Thank you. Sincerely yours, Stephen Foster Stephen Foster
