28 March 1960
Dear Pepi,
I’m sending you here the carbon copy of my translation, my literary oath of disclosure – I don’t want to send off the catalogue without having given you the opportunity to object, that is, to object to my translation; it’s as faithful as possible, with the exception of one or two of my own little oracles, which smacked of your intellectual rectification, otherwise they would have been impossible to translate. To the list of paintings I had to add the two series – the few pictures I’m sending here. In the meantime my age has also changed. I’ve done the spelling to the best of my ability, the punctuation according to the sterile laws of logic, that is, pedantically.
Sincerely,
Erich
I hope I haven’t omitted or lost anything essential.
