Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, Vol. 41, October 14, 1938

            A.M. to Buffalo to have car looked at at the Justice Shop. A little shopping, then home for lunch, & then back again to the Jury meeting at the Albright Gallery for the Patteran show in New York. A boring procedure I must confess, saved only by some of the lyric contributions of Blair & Rowe. I was infuriated by the persistence of Weiss to have me in this show as a guest artist, altho I had told him Rehn did not want me to participate on account of the Whitney show & my own in January. He wanted to borrow museum & collectors’ pieces. I got him to promise to write to Rehn first — and I wrote to Frank myself too.
           (Insert here my ideas on regional art.)
            (Later (Oct. 21) it no longer seems worthwhile to express my views on such a matter as regional art) —-Charles E. Burchfield, October 14, 1938
