CARLEN GALLERIES, Inc. 323 SOUTH 16TH STREET/PHILADELPHIA PA 19102/ KI 5-1723 Robert Carlen, President July 24, 1970. Mr. Vincent B. Murphy, Jr., c/o Salomon Bros. & Hutzler, 22nd floor, #1 New York Plaza, New York City, N.Y. Dear Mr. Murphy: I guarantee that the pencil drawing I sold to you to-day is an original study of Paul B. Dague, Deputy Sheriff of Chester County, Penna. by Horace Pippin, and which study he used in his painting of the oil portrait. I received this original drawing direct from Horace Pippin. I was Pippin's dealer from 1940 until his death in 1949. In the same frame with the drawing is an original photograph of Pippin's. Sincerely yours, ROBERT CARLEN by
