Gentlemen:

I am attempting to assemble a definitive bibliography covering the American Negro artist (painters, printmakers, and sculptors). Much of the valuable information is available only in catalogues which cover specific museum shows.

I am interested in including every available source of information in the bibliography as well as supplying the Elmira College library with copies of published works. This material will be made available to all the other nine member colleges of the College Center of the Finger Lakes and I hope to publish the bibliography itself.

Could you furnish me with a copy of the catalogue published for the show (or shows) listed below? If none is available, do you have a copy which I could inspect and return to you?

I am eager to make this bibliography as definitive as possible so I will appreciate any material you can furnish from the show (or shows) listed, or any other show which may not be listed but which covers, either in full or in part, work by Negro artists? Please bill me for any charges.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Betty Brandenburg
(Mrs.) Betty J. Brandenburg
