Dear Mr. Schoelkopf:

I am sorry to have been so slow pushing a decision on the Cornell box that you had to remind me of it. The situation is this: I am all for it and have urged it repeatedly. Sherman Lee has some hesitation about it, thinking, I believe, that we might find an even better one. I have written to a benefactor of the Museum in this area just recently and sent him a photograph of the box. If he is interested we can conclude the deal at once. If not, I will have to approach Sherman Lee again for a final answer. It is my sincere hope that by hook or crook we will keep this box, which I think is extremely beautiful.

Sincerely yours,
Ed Henning
Edward B Henning
Curator of Contemporary Art
