Summary
Telling him not to be disappointed that he was not represented in the 15th Anniversary Exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art (in New York). He says that this exhibition is of no interested and attracts the public's attention only if an exceptionally important work by an artist is included in it. He goes on to congratulate him for his patriotism in contributing the royalties from the translation of part of his book to prisoners in Algiers. Rosenberg is leaving soon for Hampton Bays and will be in New York City three or four days a week, except in August.
