Summary
Replying to her inquiry and offering two suggestions for speakers to the Art Students League members; saying "I advance these two. First, a talk by John Butler Yeats (father of the Irish poet W.B. Yeats) a portrait painter and philosopher...Second - a talk...by Charles Winter...I feel that much ground would be covered by these two, one in the Philosophy of Art or Spiritual side [i.e. Yeats] the other on the technical practical side."
