Dear Mrs Carpenter
I expect to go home to Chicago for two or three weeks the early part of March, and it occurred to me as a brilliant idea to bring a Russian show with me. We have some very interesting canvas's over at the Brooklyn
Museum now - Adolf Feder [[?]] Lado Goudiachvili Gregoriev - Sudeikine and others The Museum will be through with them the first of March. If you would like to have a Russian show at the Arts Club, I think it would be a stunning thing to do, I could bring them, provided it would cost us nothing. Let me know as soon as possible whether you would be interested or not.
Cordially yours
(Mrs) Adeline Lobdell Atwater
PS Trying to write this with several people talking to me, so pardon any mistakes
