Sept. 3, 1935

Dear Frieda:

I was delighted to have your charming letter,
and salute you again for the delightful English in which
you phrase your messages.

I was sorry to learn, however, that you had
received no word from me on the painting. I wrote two
letters last week to the old address, and immediately on
learning of the new one, notified the postmaster of the
change, so that you may get them after all.

It is only possible to repeat what I have
said in my other letters, that now that the painting is
framed and hung, it is constantly the center of enthus-
iastic admiration and appreciation. I, in company with
many others, feel that no work of Diego’s could more
fittingly represent the growth and development of his
splendid genius. It is, without question, one of the
most treasured additions to the new museum of which we
are so proud, and our gratitude to Diego overflows at
out good fortune in possessing it.

I know all about these pretty girls in
Oaxaca, but knowing you and Diego, I suspect that he
found the prettiest girl in all Mexico rearranging the
new house in San Angel when he arrived home. But these
painters in search of the beautiful must learn for them-
selves, stubborn creatures that they are, and the trip
probably did him good.

It is in my thought that perhaps you will
both make a trip northward soon, so that we may have a
good long visit again. You know how enthusiastically
you will be welcomed, and when I give your messages to
Emily Joseph and Mrs. Stern and all the rest, I know
they will join me in looking forward to such a time.

With loving good wishes to you and Diego,
believe me, as always,

Affectionately,

Albert B.
