Dear Miss Sterne;

It is with the sincerest gratitude that I take this opportunity to acknowledge your recent gift to the Desert Museum in Palm Springs of your drawing entitled BALDANDERS III. This is being recorded in our Permanent Collection files as having been contributed in honor of Joseph Hirshhorn, who not only is a member of the Board of Trustees of this Museum, but also has been and is such a tremendous friend to the artists of the world.

We are indeed impressed to have a fine example of your work in a youthful but significant collection in this part of Southern California. Your interest and generosity is acknowledged by the Board of Trustees of this Museum and by its Membership.

Enclosed is our standard Gift Agreement, one copy of which we would appreciate your completing and returning to our offices in the envelope provided for your use.

Sincerely yours,
FW Sleight
Frederick W. Sleight
Director

P. S.  We acknowledge this gift for the evaluation of $475.00
