SOCIAL SECURITY FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY PUBLIC BUILDINGS ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER IN REPLYING, QUOTE THE ABOVE SUBJECT, BUILDING, AND THESE LETTERS FA June 5, 1941 Mr. Ben Shahn Jersey Homesteads Hightstown, New Jersey Dear Ben: Thank you for your letter of June 3. I expect to be in the office the first of this coming week and will be very happy to see you and the line drawings tried in place in the Social Security Building. I was happy to learn that you have had the use of Jean Charlot's studio. I look forward to the color transparencies. Fortunately the Section has just purchased a small machine with which to throw these on a screen. I wonder if you ever received my letter about Saul Levine? His work was so derivative of yours that I felt the Section was entitled to an explanation from him. In my letter to you I asked if he had studied with you and for any other information. Cordially yours, Ed Rowan Edward B. Rowan Assistant Chief Section of Fine Arts.
