A typescript copy of a letter from Robert Vonnoh to John W. Beatty concerning Vonnoh's paintings that were installed at the ""International exhibit"" held at the Carnegie Institute. Vonnoh's writes that his wife regrets not being able to be with him while he was in Pittsburgh. He states that the ""Exhibition"" of work was ""well arranged"" and Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Hyatt had everything ready for the installation of his art. Vonnoh liked the way the exhibition was set up and he ""regrets"" that Beatty wasn't there to ""give judgment on our show"" (Beatty was not well). He remarks on the ""remarkable collection"" that was brought together for the ""International exhibition"" in Pittsburgh. Vonnoh writes that he now has a ""very fine idea of what the Carnegie Institute"" is doing thanks to the information he received from Dr Hamerschlag, Mr. Zeller and Mr. Ramsey. He concludes by writing that the exhibition has developed since he was a member of one jury ten years ago.
