Summary
Remarking on how much he and Musa enjoyed seeing him and Marilyn at a party in New York recently, only wishing that it wasn't so fleeting, and telling him that he must be in Hanover when they visit that summer. Mentioning that he received a card from Matt W. in Rome, who is "eating himself silly" on Boghosian's trattoria recommendations. Praising his two pieces in the recent Academy show, noting "they really looked terrific;" remarking that Boghosian's and Guston's own were the only great pieces in the show and suggesting they have a two-man show together with their Roman paintings.
