LOEW-LEWIN, INC. GENERAL SERVICE STUDIOS 1040 NORTH LAS PALMAS HOLLYWOOD 38, CALIFORNIA GRANITE 3111 February 19, 1946 Mr. Robert Carlen, Robert Carlen Gallery, 323 So. 16th Street, Philadelphia 2, Pa. Dear Mr. Carlen: Thank you for your extremely interesting letter of February 15th telling me of the purchase of Horace Pippin's "John Brown Going to his Hanging" by the Royal Academy. It was very thoughtful of you to ask Mr. Pippin to write a short note explaining his interpretation of the painting of the "Temptation of St. Anthony". What he wrote is eloquent and memorable, expressing so well the simplicity and purity of his inspiration. Many, many thanks. Sincerely yours, Albert Lewin
