Do give my best love to Helen and if anything should prevent our eastern trek we will count on seeing both of you here during the Exposition. 

With fondest greetings to you both, I am

Nicol and Moira have three things that would interest you:
1) a Van Gogh sepia drawing - dated 1888. (They have also the [[letter?]] to this about it.)
2) a water color sketch - Head of a woman - by Gauguin.
3) a drawing (several figures) in ink by Delacroix (was shown at the Louvre in 1933.)

All were bought of Rosengart in Lucerne.

Moira gave Nicol the Van Gogh in anticipation of Christmas whereas the Gauguin was bought with a check which Laura Corrigan gave Nicol for a wedding present.

I read to Nicol about your Ingres drawings - & fired his blood (I told him it was unique because of its eye) - but I suppose it has been sold long since. It was my thought to implant the idea that no one in Nicols position should be without an Ingres!!

Yours for more balloon juice.
