Transcript	John Steuart Curry Little Otter Imperial Place Westport, Connecticut September 28, 1929 My dear Mrs. Force: I am sending my pictures by truck on Wednesday the second of October. Included with them is "The Baptism in Kansas" which I exhibited at the Corcoran show last year and about which I told you. In July I had a letter from the Chicago Art Institute inviting this picture for the current exhibit. I couldn't get in touch with you and I felt I had better accept the invitation, so Budworth's will call for the picture on Thursday. I very much want you to see this particular work before they take it, so I am sending it in with the others. The map I made for Mr. Prosser is hung in his home at Woods Hole. I have made no plans for showing any of the pictures I am sending you, other than the "Baptism", as they represent my work which you made possible during this past year. I hope your summer proved restful and that I wasn't too percipitous in asking you to see my work so soon. Of course, I'm very anxious to hear your opinion. Sincerely yours, John S. Curry Mrs. Julianna Force The Whitney Studio Galleriies 8 West 8th Street New York City.
