Title: Draft letter from Jacques Lipchitz to [Filip Semenovich] Amstislavsky
Date: 7 October 1937
Description: Lipchitz explains to Amstislavsky why he failed to receive the death mask of Orzhonikidze at the Soviet trade mission in Paris (because of the Soviet bureacracy). He is eager to start the portrait of Ordzhonikidze right now, but won't be able to complete before spring.
