Levy comes in.  [[Cahsesll?]] shake hands with him.  Over to Knoedlers.  Find Roland Knoedler who shakes hands and says Mrs Steine is away & he's overwhelmed with things but will talk adv. Wednesday at 11.  Stop at Daniels.  E Lawson there  Ask him if he's seen my paper  says "Yes guess I have.  "Flanagan wont read any other magazine, carries it in his pocket.

Lawson says Twachtman got about $2500 a year for teaching and didn't bother to try to sell his p's  Says He told him once he had sold some things for $100 a piece & seemed quite pleased over it.  Daniel says he D is supporting a lot of young artists that he believes in & can't afford to advertise.  Says in the fall he will but in the summer has determined not to.  Anyway he says "Come in again you can't do anything with me in the mood I'm in today."  So we go on.  Lawson meantime had said good day and [[image]] Daniel said "There's a prince of a man Lawson."  Lawson had agreed with me about Man Rays landscape very good.
