Dear Hedda: 

I cannot resist sending you the following paragraph which came in a recent letter from Alice B. Toklas: 

"I went to Fifty years of American Painting sent over by the Museum of Modern Art. It is not at all representative nor is it fifty years -  but what I really want to say is that one of the pictures I liked the most was by Hedda Sterne - excellent sense of color, light and composition - enfin, a sense of painting. It was a pleasure to come upon it."

How are you? Are you going to Europe? If not, why can't we see you?

As ever, 
Michael
