Dear Carlton:
Thank you for your letter of February 18, 1972. I have no knowledge of the book that Jackie Bontemps was supposed to have received.
 
I will get on it immediately and send her another book, this time insured. 

I did have a meeting which I think you should be interested in. It was with Dr. Robert W. Wagner, Chairman of Department of Photography & Cinema at Ohio State University, 156 West 19th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210. His phone number is 614-422-4920. Dr. Wagner has embarked on a large project to photograph a cross section of Art in America. He expects to get a very large grant from the Section on Arts from the Federal Government. - He has spend some time on it, and I did discuss you with him and he seemed very interested. Might I suggest that you write to him or phone him to see whether or not you might be interested in the project, and whether or not you feel that you could fit in with his operation.
 
I'm glad to know that he White drawings were well received. I hope you are still enjoying your work at Fisk University.
 
All the best. 
Sincerely, 
BH
