Dear Nellie,

It is so lovely to have your new gallery announcement--thanks, thanks! Did I ever tell you what happens to your gallery pamphlets? I cut the colored print4ed off the cover or inside and frame them and they hang around. Right now the yellow chairs one is in a fake-gold-19th-century=girls' -school-artroom sort of frame in the kitchen. You are better than Matisse. I love to look at your paintings- prints. I wonder whatever it is like to wander into an exhibition and see the real thing--well, some day I bloody will.

I have a book coming out Apr 22nd and will send you a copy. It is a bunch of rude essays about how mean the Lutheran Church has been to Scandianavians who otherwise would be OK people. I'll send it.

Love and admiration,
Carl
