Dear Ben:

The color detail and three sections of the cartoon for the Social Security Building have just returned from Canada and are being forwarded to you at this time. As you were previously informed, the work was well received in Canada.

I want to thank you for your courtesy in loaning it for this purpose.

Cordially yours,
