Dear Dr Hodin

This is to help you in your effort organise the Periodical Exhibition International, London in the Whitechapel Art Galery. I fully sympathise with your idea and authorise you to collect paintings of mine for this purpose.

I wish you success and hope that the owners of my paintings will be kind enough to lend them to you.

Cordially yours

Oskar Kokoschka
