Dear Miss McCausland

I'm launching forth this year on my first application for a Guggenheim fellowship. 

Mr. Baron suggests that I ask you to serve as a reference since he felt that you are sufficiently familiar with my work to recommend me to the Guggenheim Foundation. 

Apart from this your name represents for me that which is among the most progressive and constructive in contemporary criticism and would, to my mind, lend considerable weight to my application. 

May I hear from you on this? 
Sincerely
Sylvia Wald
