4East 12th.St, New York City, Oct. 6th., 1938 . Dear Ned, Your letter came this morning.Thank you very much. I regret that the World Telegram piece made it look as if you voted for Mahoney.The reporter over the phone said that he was asking you and others for statements, so I conjectured that you would speak for yourself. As for the breach of etiquette of my speaking at all to the press, I apologize, indeed,I was very innocent of this restriction. As for the statements themselves,both in the press and in my letters to you,I do not retract; not to save face , but because I said what I believed. Yesterday I wrote to the Art Digest to correct a few of the misquotes and adding" the point is not plagerism,but what is the matter with the Section of Paintings and Sculpture"? Many people rang me up after t he publication of article and congratulated me. I am even more in despair over your artistic judgement than you are about mine.
