Schoelkopf, Jr. Schoelkopf Gallery 825 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Schoelkopf: We in the Bedside Network have been fortunate enough to be sent by Mr. Joseph Cornell four of his collages on "extended loan". While we have them with us, we wish to have them insured and need the appraisal of an expert such as yourself in order to obtain a policy. The four collages are: Americana Circe Distance To the Moon Naiad We will be grateful to you for an official appraisal of these. Naturally, we expect to pay any fee necessary. However, since we are a non-profit organization (in whom Mr. Cornell has been interested for some years), we will appreciate your making your charge as reasonable as possible. Thanking you in advance, I am, Sincerely, Alex F. Courtney Alex F. Courtney Executive Director AFC/hm [[note]] 1000 [[/note]]
