Harry Abrams, Publisher New York City

Dear Harry;

This past Sunday I heard Charles Osgood mention your name and I find

myself writing you a short note of introduction and asking one question.

Having worked for twenty years, putting down what was in front of me,

first in words, then paint, defined my self in art.

Would you give me an hour of your time to discuss possible commercializations?
