THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS PEALE HOUSE 1811 CHESTNUT STREET PHILADELPHIA 19103 GALLERY TELEPHONE: LOcust 4-0221 Frank T. Howard, President Alfred Zantzinger, Vice President Joseph T. Fraser, Jr., Director and Secretary C. Newbold Taylor, Treasurer February 24, 1967 Mr. Robert Schoelkopf Schoelkopf Gallery 825 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Schoelkopf: I hope that you have already heard of our new galleries. We opened in 1964 and have presented a series of exhibitions that included one man shows of Stuart Davis, Edwin Dickinson, Mary Cassatt, Marca-Relli and Hans Hofmann. I am presently arranging our schedule for the fall of '67 and spring '68. Our exhibition committee enthusiastically approved my suggestion for a show of Joseph Cornell and since I had seen one of his exhibitions at your gallery I thought you might represent him at this time. If this is so I should appreciate your letting me know about the possibilities of such an exhibition. The Academy would, of course, assume responsibility for costs of insurance and for shipping and it would be wonderful to be able to present Cornell to Philadelphia. I hope to hear from you very soon. Sincerely, Marjorie Ruben Marjorie Ruben Director, special exhibits [[strikethrough]] not Thurs Mrs. [[Uht?]] advise Mr Lester Steinkoger Pocantico Hills Est Tarrytown Hahn-Grosso [[/strikethrough]]
