Dear David,

You certainly have been busy! In reading the recent Exhibition
Program Catalogue from the American Federation of Art, I see that
your talents and knowledge have been much used by this organization.
The exhibitions Harlem Renaissance and Hidden Heritage both look
splendid. How I envy those institutions who have the space and the
exhibition budgets to be able to participate in these fine shows.

Last week I was in Muskegon, Michigan. I wonder if you know the
museum there owns a fine Henry O. Tanner painting. It was one of
the museum's first acquistions and is now part of a very lovely
permanent collection.

We never seem to see each other! Perhaps this summer, I can finally
take you up on your invitation to visit. Until then, my best wishes
to you and your family for very happy holidays.

Cordially yours,
