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 28, 1974 Mr. Robert Reid 233 Lafayette Street New York, New York 10012 Dear Mr. Reid: This museum has just acquired through purchase your oil on canvas, "C", 1973. It is a source of pride and pleasure to add an example of your work to our small but growing collection of contemporary paintings. The paintings in our permanent collection function in a) exhibitions organized for our own galleries b) loans to other museums for specific exhibitions and c) as source material for study by both students and scholars. For this three-fold function it is possible to achieve significant presentation, proper labelling, and effective publicity only if our file information is complete. The information sought on the enclosed forms, one for ARTIST RECORDS, and the other for COLLECTION RECORDS, will make this possible. May I look forward to your cooperation? Sincerely, Ann S. Rogerson Ann S. Rogerson Curator ASR:mcob enc.
