Adams wrote the following in a letter to Alfred Stieglitz on September 21, 1937:
'O’Keeffe is supremely happy and painting, as usual, supremely swell things. When she goes out riding with a blue shirt, black vest and black hat, and scampers around against the thunderclouds—I tell you, its something! All that is needed to complete the picture is to have you out in the gardens at six AM in your green cape. I am quite certain you would like it here [Ghost Ranch]. But it is a long way from New York, especially for a person of your kind of schedules to fill.' — Ansel Adams in a letter to Alfred Stieglitz Stillman
