Dear Mr. White:
Thank you for the assistance and information you gave me over the telephone last week.

I have enclosed a copy of the biography sheet as it now stands, although with proofreaders marks. One date slightly puzzles me: when you were an artist-in-residence at Howard University. Catalogs with your biography and the University agree that the date is 1945. However, I note that you were hospitalized between 1944-47.

Have I made a mistake? I would be grateful if you would read the sheet and make any corrections that you deem neccessary. The sheet has gone to the printer but minor alterations can be made, if neccessary. 

Thank you again for your help.
