Dear Mr. Lawrence:

The National Portrait Gallery is trying to locate self-portraits of certain contemporary American artists.

If you have a self-portrait we would like to obtain a photograph of it for the permanent record in our Catalog of American Portraits.  We are willing to pay for this.

If your self-portrait is in another collection would you be willing to give us the owner's name and address?

Please feel free to call me collect at 202-381-5169 if you have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you I am, 

Sincerely yours, 
Robert G. Stewart
Robert G. Stewart
