Dear Dr. Smith,

I was sorry to miss you at the opening of Ruth Asawa's show last week. I thought your installation was very creditable and effective. the turnout seemed to be encouraging. I have mentioned the show to Henry Seldis of the L.A. Times in the hope that he will cover it himself or have his assistant do so. I will continue to hope to meet you one day.

I spoke with Ruth about the possibility of a long term loan of a work to the UCLA Galleries. She agreed to do so and we selected #38 to be picked up by us at the close of the show for installation in our galleries. I will call you shortly before the show is scheduled to close and see what kind of an arrangement we can make for a convenient transfer. I will also write her and be sure that she informs you in writing that this is her intention. 

Sincerely,
Gerald Nordland
