Mr. Horace Pippin
c/o Robert Carlen Gallery,
323 So. 16th Street,
Philadelphia 2, Phila.

Dear Mr. Pippin:

I am happy to inform you that besides yourself the following artists have agreed to submit paintings for the competition in connection with our production of de Maupassant's "Bel Ami": Ivan LeLorraine Albright, Eugene Berman, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini, Louis Guglielmi, Abraham Rattner, Stanley Spencer and Dorothea Tanning. The jurors, as you know, are Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Marcel Duchamp and Sidney Janis.

When your painting is ready to be shipped, we would appreciate it if you would send it to:

Loew-Lewin, Inc.,
c/o W.S. Budworth & Son,
424 W. 52nd Street,
New York, New York

We will agree that you have fulfilled the terms of our agreement if your painting reaches Budworth's by the third week in January, at which time and place the jury convenes. This extends by one week our original agreement.

We are instructing Budworth to notify both us and the jurors in New York of the arrival of the paintings, and immediately upon receipt of these advices our checks will be mailed to the contestants. The paintings are to be sent unframed, and express collect. We suggest that you put a one-quarter or a one-half inch strip around the painting to protect the edges.

We wish, of course, to reimburse all artists for any expense they may incur in connection with the shipment of the paintings.

Mr. Loew joins me in sending our very best wishes.

Sincerely yours,
Albert Lewin
