Cher Directeur,
Just one line in reply to the main points of your valuable letter[2].
We mean to have a fairishly large collection of Albert Moores[3] - to devote a room to them & altogether to do it as well as possible. I will send you a List on Saturday.
Baldry[4] is helping me - so is Hollyer[5] the Photographer & Henry Moore[6] does a little.
I went & saw Labouchère[7] in his romping ground - the House - this afternoon & I am to see [p. 2] the Proscenium[8] tomorrow. You are a "Génie universal[9]" - I had been chasing for it in vain.
More shortly! à tantôt -
Yrs ever
F G Prange
I hope to open towards the 15 Janry[10] & to get in the pictures between X'mas & New Year.
