THE downtown GALLERY EDITH GREGOR HALPERT, DIRECTOR • 32 EAST 51 STREET, NEW YORK 22 • TEL. PLAZA 3-3707 August 2, 1946 Mr. Robert Carlen Carlen Galleries 323 South 16th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Dear Bob: During my hectic visits to New York, I had no time to go into records, particularly in the absence of the bookkeeper, but I am giving you some idea of what there is in the way of expectations: Saturday Night Bath $ 562.50 Barracks 562.50 Woman Taken in Adultery 375.00 Victorian Interior 600.00 I sent you a thousand dollar check on account, and I am still waiting for payment from Duncan Phillips, when the complete balance will be taken care of. If I know well enough in advance, when I am due in New York, I can let you know so that we can get together although you have a record of the paintings we still have on hand. It certainly was too bad that Mrs. Pippin died as well, and that you have all these complications. Perhaps I shall be in Philadelphia early in September when I can look in on the Hicks, but I suppose that can wait until you decide to dispose of it. I hope you manage to keep cool in Philadelphia and are getting some week-end rest. Sincerely yours Edith EGHla
