Dear Mr. Carlen:

I hope you may be able to help me in the following matter. In an article to be published in our JOURNAL OF THE ART DEPARTMENT I wish to refer to Horace Pippin's picture "The Victory Vase", a vertical canvas or panel which, originally, has been painted in an original format and, if I recall correctly, has a yellow background. Would you have a photograph of it and, if so, could we purchase from you an 8" x 10" glossy print. Would you also let me know, if you do know, the present owner of the painting from whom I would have to obtain permission to reproduce it, and the credit line the owner would wish us to print under the reproduction.

Needless to say, I would be very much obliged it you could help me in both of the above.

Hoping that you and your family have been well and sending every good wish, I am, 

Sincerely,
 
Violette de Mazia
