In part: “I hope you will forgive my failure to reply to your letter…Shortly before my talk in Los Angeles, I was taken violently sick with a sinus attack induced by the flight by plane over the mountains from San Francisco. Only because I had given my talk a number of times before was I able to get through it at all…This week I am returning to Los Angeles to do some work there and would be glad to autograph your prints.” In fine condition, with staple holes to bottom edge, lightly trimmed edges, and a few creases.
