“My Dear Miss. Freeman: The exposures have been developed. And there are proofs.—I have been thinking them over.—Some I feel are acceptable.—At least as a beginning. Early next week, should you find time, I’ll make another series.—And when you come, you’ll see the proofs” (Stieglitz to Helen Freeman, 1 December 1921 [Sotheby’s, auction catalogue, 17 April 1991, lot 123A]).
