Dear Ms. Wilson:

I am taking the liberty of responding to your letter of
December 12 to Professor Driskell requesting him to give
a lecture in conjunction with the exhibit, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
ARTISTS 1800 -1987: Selections from the Evans-Tibbs
Collection. He is currently out of the country and will not
return until the end of January.

I am certain he will be pleased to respond to your
request upon his return.

Sincerely,

Ophelia Speight
Assistant
