Dear Mr. Shahn:

Mr. Andre Bieler, Chairman of the Canadian Artists Conference has requested that your mural design for the Social Security Building be retained for an additional week to be used for his summer classes. Just as soon as it is returned to this office it will be forwarded to you.

Very truly yours,
