Description
Letter sent by Jacques Lipchitz, he writes about being extremely busy with work and says that all the interviews and conferences he attends bring nothing 'tangible'. He writes about several upcoming conferences and mentions feeling nervous about one in Philadelphia. He also writes about exhibitions he has seen including Toulouse Lautrec and Goya. He mentions being intrigued by one painting, depicting the head of a cow [probably references 'Still Life of a Lamb's Head and Flanks' by Goya depicting a lamb rather than a cow]. He also writes about Old Masters that he loves, such as Delacroix, and expresses hope not to be forgotten in the future.
