TLS, one page, 7.5 x 10, March 11, 1933. Letter to William Harlan Hale, in part: "I was delighted by the present of the Covarrubias inauguration painting. I think I shall have it framed and hung in our modest cottage in Vermont. It breathes a spirit of reverence." In fine condition. Originally sold by Paul C. Richards, and accompanied by his original description. A well-known Mexican-American painter, Miguel Covarrubias was perhaps best known for his caricatures and illustrations published in The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. His painting of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential inauguration was produced as an oversized print in 1933 by Conde Nast.
