Rolick

November 10th, 1953

Dear Mr. Stafford:

Answering your letter of the 2nd it is plesant to know you are considering Miss Esther Rolick as a guest at the Foundation and are glad to express our opinions on the point specified. 

1) We consider the applicant an exceptionally talented artist and have held two one-man exhibitions of her paintings. 

2) We feel that the candidate would integrate with other artists as easily has artists generally do. She is naturally of a gay disposition punctuated, however, by periods of depression. The standard of her moral character is beyond question. 

3) The applicant is a person of very limited means but I presume that she continues to be in position to small personal expenses. 

We would be happy of course to answer any further inquiries you might care to address to us.

Yours very sincerely 

Mrs. T.D. Parker
