    CO-2450 Kent, Rockwell. [Carta] 1940 Oct. 8, Au Sable Forks, NY [para] Candido Portinari, New York, NY. [inglês][datilografado] Dear Portinari So you have arrived have you! I wish that I had known sooner, for we were in New York about a week ago and you may have been there then. On Saturday I’ll be in New York. If it is possible for me to get up to see your exhibition at the Modern Museum then and to see you I’ll do so. But since my visit to New York is to take part in a World’s Fair activity that the Artists’ Union is sponsoring it is probable that I’ll be required to go straight out to the Fair and to stay there throughout the shole day and into the evening. I can’t be sure about this until I get to New York. May be it will be possible for you to go to the Fair and to permit the artists’ union ( the United American Artists) to do you what honor lies in their gift. I am writing a letter to the Executive Committee asking them to communicate with you directly. I hope that you will find it possible to come. On Sunday I leave for the Middle-west on a lecture tour, to be gone from New York for about two weeks. If I don’t see your exhibition on Saturday I’ll see it on my return to New York. I hope that when the excitement of your show is over and when my lecturing for the season is at an end – that will be on the first of December -, that you and Maria will have leisure to come up and pay us a visit in the country. Please give her my warm regards. With best wishes to yourself for a triumphant success, I am, Faithfully yours, Rockwell Kent
