Dear Mrs. Miller,

Thank you for your letter of October 11th., 1977. I was most grateful for your generosity in allowing me to consult the A.A.A. interviews. I must admit to feeling very guilty in bothering you yet again, but I do believe there are certain points concerning which your extraordinary breadth of experience could continue to be highly important to my research. 

Firstly, I would mention in passing that a considerable number of pages were missing from the A.A.A. interviews and, given the contexts, I suspect they touched upon areas relevant to my research. 
Secondly, since writing to you, I have come to place very considerable emphasis on the work and outlook of Clyfford Still in particular, on whom I have gathered some stimulating material. I wondered whether you might still be willing to say anything more about your knowledge of the artist and especially his attitude regarding the '52 MoMA Show. I note, too, that the 1976 San Francisco catalogue includes a fascinating excerpt from a letter written to you and, emphatically without wishing to pry into personally confidential area, could there be any further relevant material in this respect?

I realize how very busy you must be: yet, if you should have time for a meeting, you can phone a message at any moment on 775-2410 - almost any date is likely to be O.K. for me. If not, whatever you might be kind enough to relate in a letter will be very deeply appreciated. 

Yours Sincerely,
David A. Anfam
