Summary
O'Keeffe tries to clarify her thoughts, expressed in an earlier letter, regarding the Stieglitz manuscript edited by Seligmann. ("From your letter I do not know whether you understood my meaning when I wrote you last-- or not.") She praises the foreword but criticises "[w]hat you have written in connecting the Stieglitz material" as "not as good as you can do." She holds up the presentation of the 1931 edition of John Marin's letters to Stieglitz, also edited by Seligmann, as an example of her preference.
