Dear Sir,

I am in receipt of your letter - dated 15th May 1972 and the contents carefully gone through. Infact I must confess how so worried I was when your reply was delayed, Now I am happy and looking to the day when we shall see in Lagos. My second one man show falls during the time you will be in Lagos at the German Cultural Centre Lagos, on the 28th Wednesday lasting a week in June. This will be a very nice opportunity in seeing my works of art, paintings and prints. During the opening 28th of June to the end of June I shall ask if you have come from the U.S.I.S. Lagos I think they will know your movements.

I am seriously looking forward to seeing you and seeing my paintings at the Goethe Institute Lagos. I am happy to tell you that my work is progressing and that I am sound. I remain

Very sincerely yours Rufus Ogundele.
