Dear Mrs. Smadbeck: 

This letter is in answer to yours of March 12th 1973, in which is requested information and advice on how to proceed to purchase a work of mine.  So as to inform my dealer of your interest a coy of your letter is being forwarded to: 

Terry Dintenfass Gallery, Inc. 
18 East 67th Street
New York, New York 10021

For me, it would be an honor to have one of my works become a part of the Tougaloo College art collection.  I know that the Terry Dintenfass Gallery will be most helpful to you and the Board of Trustees of Tougaloo College in regards to the acquisition of a work. 

My wife and I both have met such wonderful people and have had great times at the Clark's.  Will you please say hello to Kenneth and Mamie for us. 

Again, thanking you and the Board of Trustees of Tougaloo College for your interest, I am

Sincerely yours, 


Jacob Lawrence
