NO MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS BOSTON - MASSACHUSETTS - 02115 Office of the Director June 19, 1974 Mr. Robert H. Luck The Finch College Museum of Art 62-64 East 78th Street New York, New York 10021 Dear Mr. Luck: I was pleased to learn from your letter of May 28th that you are organizing an exhibition of the work of Jim Brooks. As you may know, I organized a similar exhibition in Dallas several years ago and continue to think Jim is one of the best artists of his generation. As much as I would like to help him, my wife and I both feel that we would not like to lend our painting for such an extended time. It is one of the few paintings we own and occupies a prominent place in our home. Since there are a number of works of similar size and type from that period I am sure that you can find a good substitute. Sincerely yours, Merrill C. Rueppel Merrill C. Rueppel Director MCR/tp
