Dear Mr. Chidsey,

I am sending you a gauache painting which I hope you will like. As I told you before I liked the book you sent me very much.

I hope that you will please pardon me for not having the painting matted as I am way out in the country, I never get to the city which is thirty miles away. I would have liked to have had it matted for you.

Please write and let me know if you received the painting and I would also like to know what you think of it.

Sincerely yours
Jacob Lawrence
