My dear Miss Roller - Replying to your letter of October 24th. I am not certain of making an exhibition of paintings in Chicago but might consider it under certain conditions. I could bring a collection of contemporary French pictures of the very best quality but I would have to have a guarantee of at least $10000 purchases. I have works of Matisse, Derain, Segonzac, unclear, Pascin Bouard, unclear, Laurencin Braque Picasso. The purchase of any two of these would nearly satisfy the amount. Perhaps Pierre Matisse could accompany the exhibition.
