Mr. Jock Truman
THE BETTY PARSONS GALLERY
24, West 57th Street, 
New York, N.Y. 

Dear Jock,

I am very surprised there isn't enough money from the exhibition.to get the show here. That was the whole idea and it seems to me $4,000.00 should have been enough.

Also Warrum wrote you (see enclosed) about additional transportation charges and you should have figured in more for shipment back to Europe if it was needed. 

The estimate I got from Ollendorff is out of the question. I paid a third, including crating, of that to send Paris-New York - and the crating is already done! I am changing shippers, back to Wingate & Johnston, and waiting estimate. 

As I understand from Ollendorff's letter, the show goes to the 26th, instead of the 12th. The still have time to try and make a deal with Indianapolis - either they pay more in transportation or they buy something. 

This really is putting the last straw on the camel's back, considering all the charges I have paid up to now. 

Get some kind of deal.

P.S. Small sculptures should be shipped back to their owners - Monument III may or may not be being shipped to Kenton Corp. depending on whether I hear from them or not -
