[Transcription/translation] 5.10.78 dear joseph, thanks for your september letter. unfortunately i still can’t send you the catalogue… i don’t know why the work is taking so long? i’m glad to hear you have fond memories of marrakech. i didn’t know about the death of pierre the manager. and john ? (the sculptor) has capitulated. there are hours when i can understand ‘that’ sometimes. now… marrakech… i’m sending photographs of my recent work: the armies of officials, the regulated society, the positions vacant etc. mostly collage on/with newspaper… then a few ‘fair copies’ transferred to canson paper (which is no better). …
entrusted the matter to someone in kiel. thanks for the kind
