TERRY DINTENFASS, INC. 18 east 67th st. new york, n.y. 10021 rhinelander 4-1580 10 January 1973 Mrs. Jacob Lawrence 4316 37 Avenue, NE Seattle, Washington 98105 Dear Gwen: Many thanks for your letter of the 3rd in reference to the purchase of your Jacob Lawrence tempera painting, DAYBREAK, A TIME TO REST. The institution interested in purchasing it is the National Gallery of Art which is under the Smithsonian Institution, but is the most prestigious institution in the United States, artwise. I have quoted them a price of $8,500 so that you will not have to pay any commission to me. They may however, ask for a 10 percent museum discount which is customary. I think we should discuss this if it happens. Thank you for being so cooperative and I send by very best to you and Jake for the new year. Fondly, Terry Terry Dintenfass TD:lr
