Summary
Writing to ask for some advice and comments that his work might become excessive and prevent him from getting the fundamentals until after the war, but that he is still waiting for photographs; adding that in the springtime, he will send Rosenberg potential buyers, amateurs and merchants of two types- those who buy transitional things that are not very expensive and those that buy masterpieces; saying that he will speak to Rosenberg individually of them by letter or cable.
