Jacob Lawrence 4316 37th Avenue N.E. Seattle, Washington 98105 October 18th 1976 Mr. Robert G. Stewart Curator National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian Institution F Street at Eight, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20560 Dear Mr. Stewart: This letter is in answer to yours of September 22nd 1976, requesting information in regards to a self-portrait which might be photographed for the permanent record in the catalog of American artists for the National Portrait Gallery. I do not have a self-portrait in my own collection. There is one (a brush and ink drawing) however in the collection of: Mr. and Mrs. Edward Halper 1809 Albemarle Road Brooklyn, New York 11226 I am sure that the Halper's will be most cooperative and agreeable to having this portrait photographed. I wish the National Portrait Gallery continued growth and success. Sincerely yours, Jacob Lawrence
