13 July: ". . . I believe it was decided, on the advice of Pace Gallery, to make these reproductions a little smaller than the originals in order to prevent any confusion or abuse.

"I liked this project and I would like it to happen. . . .

3 August: ". . . I am pleased with your intention to continue the project . . . .

"I would be happy to know . . . how many topics you plan to reproduce in the album. I could thus start now to choose the subjects. . . ."
