Summary
Thanking him for calling to read him a review from the Boston Globe, noting "Naturally, I plummeted to a real low depression after the show" but that their phone conversation gave him a "real lift," and thanking him also for his own candid response to the exhibit. Noting that the studio is empty now but that he will begin working again soon.
