Io confido ch'Ella non sia rimasta troppo scontenta della nostra Esposizione; e mi permetto quindi di rivolgerle il caldo e fiducioso appello di voler fin d'ora promettere la Sua collaborazione per la prossima Mostra. Questa Mostra, come Ella potrà a suo tempo rilevare anche dalla stampa, avrà un'importanza artistica e finanziaria ben superiore alla precedente. Il Suo ingegno austero e le Sue doti solide di artista ci consentono di riprometterci da Lei molto.
