Dear Tally;

It looks like I won’t get a chance to see you again, before you leave, but here are a few mailers. I plan to have them sent out either tomorrow or Tuesday. Why don’t you take the first four orders for yourself.

Thank you for coming for the opening. I appreciate it.

Best,
Fritz

P.S. please give one of the Kitsch books to Gina

Dear Tally–

Here is the price list for the show. It doesn’t include drawings, which I hope to do when I get back! I also added a small painting of Taos which I had done here in Scottsdale: DEAD END AT TAOS. Actually, it is a nice painting!

You should re-type the list on your stationery and put red dots on the ones that I want…don’t tell anyone that they are mine. I have found that NFS makes people mad…I finished the layout on the catalog and I think that it will be quite beautiful and low key.

Have much to do before I leave.

Best always,
Fritz
