McIntyre laughs and sits down for a very long chat.  Seems deciededly piqued that all the artists their form establsihed should now be shouting and selling their things in all the other galleries.  I tell him he ought to get some new men - He admits of Imenton, Wendell & Hall.  Get the check and tell McIntyre I'll send him 12 copies.  Stop at Kingores and Ralstons.
