[[image - drawing of the museum]] THE MONTCLAIR ART MUSEUM K. PHILIP DRESDNER, PRESIDENT KATHRYN E. GAMBLE, DIRECTOR SOUTH MOUNTAIN AND BLOOMFIELD AVENUES MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY 07042 TEL. 746-5555 March 22, 1974 Mr. Robert Reid 233 Lafayette Street New York, New York 10012 Dear Bob: It's time to toast you in a special vintage and perhaps it can really come off now that I can inform you that we have approved the purchase of your handsome painting "C". I saw your exhibition at the Rankow Gallery and was enchanted with the total effect--it is a real achievement. The piece I chose seems to crown your latest endeavors and I am selfishly happy it's now a part of our collection. I look forward to having you visit the museum; perhaps you will enjoy coming at the time we are showing the paintings and wood sculpture of Betty Parsons with focal on her as an artist. Best wishes, Kathryn Kathryn E. Gamble Director KEG:jpl
