WALKER ART CENTER 1710 Lyndale Avenue South Minneapolis Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403 333-3215. Martin L. Friedman, Director Mrs.Eleanor Ward Stable Gallery 33 East 74th Street NEW YORK N.Y. December 28,1965 Dear Eleanor: Everytime a friend sends us the Indiana LOVE with Season's greetings -yours was the most recent one-,I am pleasantly reminded of how good it is to have the real thing on our wall. I can't tell you how good a surprise it was when Ingeborg brought the painting with her from New York and how much pleausre we and our friends here have already gotten out of seeing it. We are crazy about Bob's work,besides being genuinely fond of him as a person,and we feel privileged that you and Bod decided to let us have the painting instead of someone else. Enclosed is a check for $ 125.00,that is half of the total amount,if I understand correctly,that is ,that you allowed us to buy the painting for $ 250.00. In another month or so I hope to send you another $ 125,trusting that this mode of payment will be acceptable to you. Thanking you again,with all good wishes for yourself,Allen and Bod,in which Ingeborg joins me, Sincerely yours, Jan Jan van der Marck
