18 October 1984
Dear André,
It was very pleasant to see you and Connie last night, and your happiness about the new acquisition of a farm in Pawling.
This morning is the first chance I have had to look at the transparency of the picture you suggested we trade for. It is not a picture I am proud of and therefore my main interest in it would be to get it out of circulation. But I am not so concerned about it that I would want to make a big deal out of it. Nor do I think that it would bring much at auction. In short, if you want to make a modest exchange, fine. But I have too many works out in the world, especially from the Kootz days, to even contemplate trying to get back the ones that I now regret having released. What do you think?
In any case, thanks for your courtesy.
As ever,
Bob
