Sept. 3, 1935.

Dear Diego:

We seem to have gotten into a
mess of trouble. Your telegram was just
received and I have notified the Museum to
apply for a duplicate draft. As soon as
it reaches me, I shall forward it to you.

I am sorry that the delay should
have inconvenienced you, but it was really
no fault of mine. The check was mailed im-
mediately on receipt of the picture.

It seems like useless repetition
to tell you how much the picture is being
enjoyed. However, I still wish it had
been framed in Mexico where they understand
how to harmonize the subject with the frame
to carry through the atmosphere of Mexico.

I salute you with such homage,
and with love and good wishes to you and
Frieda, believe me,

Very cordially yours,

Albert B.

Sr. Diego Rivera,
Palmas 2,
San Angel, D.F.,
Mexico.

P.S. I wrote to Frieda this
morning and telegraphed her before the
receipt of your message.
AMB.
