DE FOREST BROTHERS ROBERT W. DE FOREST HENRY W. DE FOREST JOHNSTON DE FOREST ROBERT THORNE HENRY L. DE FOREST CABLE ADDRESS "BROFOREST" NEW YORK.
30 BROAD STREET NEW YORK Feb. 12, 1919
Mr. J. Howard Bridge, 1 East 70th Street, New York.
Dear Sir: I think your proposed card of admission to Mr. Frick's gallery in excellent form, and note that you state the hour to be between three and six, which is entirely satisfactory. I cannot forecast with certainty at this time probable attendance. Many members of the Conference bring their wives or husbands, as the case may be. Suppose there are as many as 150, or even 200 - is there any objection? Of course we could cut down strictly to members but it would be a hardship to their families. Can you leave the question as to whether it will be Thursday or Friday open, a question which can better be settled in the early part of April than now.
Very truly yours, Robert W. De Forest
