Dear Sir!

In response to your kind letter from the 8th of this month we have been asked to tell you that you may send in your 8 paintings and drawings (framed) and that they will be
given the best possible places.
It will not be possible to reproduce our works in the catalogue, since only a certain number of pictures can be included and many artists are to be considered.
For the transport please contact our carrier Emil Scholz I Vienna Predigergasse 5 as soon as possible to enable immediate transportation.
We are enclosing the registration papers.
Paintings and boxes must be marked accurately using the relevant labels.
Please send back the completed registration forms immediately. Respectfully,
