Dear Mr. Seligman

1977 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the J.B. Speed Art Museum.  Some of our friends have made gifts to the Museum to help celebrate the occasion.  We thought you, too, might like the opportunity of joining us in observing this anniversary.

Would you consider a gift this year in commemoration of this, our most important event in 50 years?

We also hope that you might consider coming to the preview of our Fiftieth Anniversary exhibition, "A Golden Century of English Watercolors-1750-1850," on October 17.  It should be a memorable occasion.

I am writing you on behalf of the Board of Governors of the J.B. Speed Art Museum and the Museum Collectors.

Most sincerely,
Gertrude P. Brown
Mrs. G. Garvin Brown
Chairman, Museum Collectors
Board of Governors
