SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION NATIONAL ZOOLOGIAL PARK WASHINGTON 9, D.C. Office of Director National Zoological Park August 18, 1952 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
