Dear Friend: 
How thoughtful of you to write me--I got back to the campus after a hectic trip home from South Africa. I did not get to Australia as originally planned, as my plane was delayed three days in Johannesburg; so I gave up that portion of the trip and flew back via the Atlantic. 

When I was in French Equatorial Africa, I was very much impressed with some of the paintings by some of the native boys. They are quite different and refereshing; in fact, sophisticated in a primitive fashion. I got one that I thought you would especially like, and I will send it to you in a couple of weeks--it is presently on exhibition in our art gallery. 

Since I do not know exactly how you want it framed, I am not undertaking to have that done. I have had it dry mounted, however, with a wide margin to take care of any type of frame you might want to put on it. I hope you will like it. Kind regards and thank you for your good wishes. 

Sincerely yours,

Bob Jones Jr. 

President
