Miss Cornelia Chaplin
Box 102
Lakeville, Conn.

Dear Miss Chaplin:

The bear arrived and has been placed in the basement of our reptile house, awaiting your visit and the final decision on where to place it.

It is a most attractive piece of sculpture and we are sure the public will take a great deal of interest in it.

We shall have to make a final decision on where to put it before we make the cement base.

Sincerely yours,
WM Mann

W.M. Mann
Director
