Summary

Transcription: Dear Mr. Cornell, for a long, long time now I had been hopeful to meet you and, being a photographer, to take some snaps of you. It would be nice to be able to come out to see you some day- soon- maybe? With or without Diane Waldman. [sic] Her Show (your show) is so beautiful! Sincerely, Hans Namuth
