Hopefully I've been able to transcribe this well, but I struggled with the handwriting.

12 September 1989
Dear Seymour,
A quick answer to your long letter from September 7. Everything is fine, and almost perfect (except very small corrections listed below) but... there is a but...
You can't, my dear Seymour, expect me to approve a Spaces newsletter dedicated to french folk art environments which, for some reason (?), omits to mention Chomo's Village d'Art Preludien in Archeries-la-Foret: a major site (much more important than ????Vamen's???Vameur's??? Chateaus for instance) which most probably will be bulldozed immediately after Chomo's death if national and international interest is not focused on it very soon.
In one of my earlier letters I had, more enough, given you all the information about the site, the address, the names of the buildings, a.s.c. omitting this place would be as strange, ridiculous, as omitting Cheval or Picassette(?). So I hope it is still time to write at least a small on it.
-------------------------
There is more but I can't read it and it seems less Chomo-specific. This is an interesting piece of positive reception for him.

(interesting ways of describing him... very positive (obviously)

He obviously loves his work, but is also keen to exhibit it. Take it from the context Chomo wanted it in.
It's been quite hard to find info because a lot of it is in french :-(
