Dear Dr. Driskell (or "Dr. D.", as Ophelia says): Enclosed please find my check in the amount of thirty dollars ($30.00), the cost for three (3) packages of your beautiful note cards with envelopes. I so much appreciated the very thoughtful note that Ophelia Speight sent me, but I appreciated it all the more because I also received one of your beautiful cards. That is how I came to know about them. Immediately I thought of family and friends who would also enjoy them. Thus, my call to you. As I suggested, if you will give the cards to Ophelia when you next see her -- then I will arrange to get them from her when I return from Albany, New York, the week after Thanksgiving. Sorry that I was unable to hear you speak today. Perhaps there will be another opportunity to do so. Best wishes for a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely, Louise [signature] (Mrs.) Louise Daniel Hutchinson [Redacted]

Dear Keith:
I am writing this letter in the interest of Pia Swafford who wishes to study in Oaxaca, Mexico in the coming semester.
As I understand Ms. Swafford's plan of study, she would be working with Dr. Arthur Miller, our Latin American specialist, on a study assignment which includes the restoration and reproduction of works of art that are found in the pyramids of the region of Oaxaca, Mexico. The project has many merits to its credit, some of which have already materialized in the scholarly work that Dr. Miller has published. Students learn to restore the works by studying the pigments used by the ancient artists of the region and do scale drawings and paintings that show what the original work looked like.
I think that the project is a broad and comprehensive one and will add to the dimension of Pia's education in a very fine way. I think that she is mature enough and responsiblewith her work and could benefit from such an undertaking. I am highly supportive of the project and recommend that Pia be allowed to pursue the work which has been outlined under Dr. Miller's supervison.
If I can be of further service in any way, I hope that you will feel free to call on me.
Sincerely,
DCD/c David C. Driskell Professor of Art

Dear Lucille,
Thank you so much for sending along the copy of Artist in Maine magazine. The article came through quite well and we have our neighbor Patricia D. Reef to thank for it.
We missed seeing you last summer and hope that we will have time to get together next year. It seems that I stay as busy there as I do here and get so little done. I am hoping that we will have more time for leisure activities next year.
We hear from Mrs. Davis from time to time and are always glad to lnow about what is happening there. We have been having lovely weather here, certainly not like winter.
We hope that you and your family will have a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. Many thanks again.
David & Thelma [signiture]
