January 17, 1928 Dear Mr. Plimpton: I just returned from a little vacation in the South and find your letter enclosing a check for $540. in payment for the Eugene Speicher flower painting. This the purchaser may keep, as we have the other by Speicher to substitute for the rest of the show. Thank you very much indeed, for your activity in the matter, and I am sure that Mr. Speicher will be pleased. With kindest regards, I am Sincerely yours, JRF:EF Mr. Russell A. Plimpton, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Office of the Director, Minneapolis, Minn.
