Dear Mr. Seiberling:

This is just by way of a reminder that I very much look forward to receiving the photograph which you promised me of the large Jackson Pollock ~ we spoke about on the bus coming into New York from Newark Airport.

Above all I would be grateful if you would indicate the dimensions of the canvas, and any pertinent information with respect to its history, and books it is repro duced in.

I will write you in a more precise way on receipt of the photograph, and with the hope that, if you are satisfied with our terms and conditions and would like to proceed along the lines we discussed, we could schedule its sale at the height of our seasonJ sometime in June or early July.

I very much enjoyed meeting you, and hope that our paths may cross soon again. In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from you regarding the above, and with best wishes.

Mr. Frank Seiberling Department of Art University of Iowa Iowa City, Iowa.
