Summary
Giving his decision on bringing the Picasso-Matisse exhibit to America and asking if he could have 10 large Picasso paintings and one Matisse which Rosenberg has in his gallery; saying that he spoke to Matisse, who is very enthusiastic about it and that he plans to have it arranged by Mr. Bernheim with Felix Wildenstein at Berheim's gallery in October; adding that Rosenberg should discuss this proposal with Wildenstein and send him a decision; explaining that he would prefer to have large important works by two masters rather than more of less important ones to create a better exhibition that will create a furor in New York and Chicago.
