Letter on Lee Simonson stationery to Carl Brandt, who published artists' pictures and articles about Simson in Harpers, Atlantic Monthly, and Vogue. "I do land an article in Vogue – a fashionable, popular women’s magazine which prints only stuff that in interest at least is amusing – instead of waiting for the article to appear and seeing whether you couldn’t wave it in a few editorial faces with the remark” what did I tell you?” or words to that effect, you amiably wash your hands of me…..” Signed, “ Lee Simonson”.
