[[note]] Ranger Mememorial Exp 1958 [[/note]] THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART NEW YORK 28, N.Y. June 26, 1958 Mr. Vernon C. Porter Director National Academy of Design 1083 Fifth Avenue New York 28, N.Y. Dear Mr. Porter: We would be glad to lend you the two paintings by Ranger. The one called "High Bridge" is no longer in first class condition as the whole paint surface has "alligatored" and the technical boys say this condition cannot be corrected. You may feel that this picture would not represent Ranger at his best and wish to select some other work. Sincerely, ATGardner Albert TenEyck Gardner Associate Curator of American Painting and Sculpture ATG:czs
