Dear Bob:

I am enclosing a kodachrome which was sent to me by the Terry DeLapp Gallery in Los Angeles. It is presumed to be a Pippin of which there is no record. I note it is signed by him in the lower right-hand corner. Have you ever seen it before? Any information you might be able to provide would be most gratefully received.
 
Would you be kind enough to return the kodachrome so I can return it to the owner. 

With warmest greetings to Alice and yourself, 
Cordially,
[[Geon?]]
Associate Director

P.S. Incidentally, Bob, Seldon Rodman, in his book, records a letter by Pippin in which he "explains" his [[underline]] Holy Mountain [[underline]]  painting. Would you, by any chance, know where this letter originated and who might be the owner of it today?
