Dearest Sheila,

I had a meeting yesterday with the Olivetti group and their mood at the moment is to go somewhat slowly, but not to abandon the idea. Therefore, there is no immediate rush on your part.

On the other hand, you will remember my telling you about Mrs. Blair, who bought all of the elements from the Wall Hangings show. She and her husband have now decided that they want you to do a wall in their 5th Avenue apartment, more or less like the Rothschild bank. She will probably write to you, but I have promised that I too would write. I have also indicated that if, by any chance, you are to come back to New York in May, that naturally I will see that you get together. Meanwhile, I am showing her the little échantillon which you brought over for Olivetti, to give her some idea of other colors. One way or another.....

Love,

Mildred Constantine
