905 3/4 Sanborn Ave Los Angeles Calif. 90029 7 Dec 63 Dear John, At long last I got to see yourshow. And at long last get down to write to you about it. It was beautiful. I was very sorry to miss your opening. Of all shows to miss on opening night it would have to be yours. You know when I saw your paintings I thought to myself that there ought to be a decompression chamber between the museum and your show. In other words there ought to be a quiet place, a pace changer, from the speed of the street before one can more fully enjoy your paintings. The catalog was wonderful. Bob Ellis did himself proud. That's all - it is good to see some ... Painting. Yours Frederick Hammersley
