Dear David:

I'm going to be writer-in-residence for the week of Jan 1923 at American University; would like to see you while I’m in the area. Like the catalogue very much—and sorry I didn't- see the show. I talked to the director of the RISD museum about-a photographic retrospective on black photography and thought I'd ask you if you could recommend someone, about six months work, including writing the catalogue. Happy New Year to you and yours—cheers,
