Dear Miss. Vivona:

Thank you for your letter telling us the painting, "Moonlight over Topaz, Utah" by my late father, Chiura Obata has been donated to your library. It is most gratifying to know it is in your collection. My father was a great admirer of Mrs.Roosevelt and she was very sympathetic to the plight of the Japanese Americans incarcerated in the desert camps.

Please let me know when the new World War II exhibit is shown so we may make a trip to Hyde Park to view it. Many thanks again for your help and for giving us the information on the painting.

Very sincerely yours,
Lillian Yuri
