TLS, one page, 6.75 x 10, personal letterhead, April 4, 1972. Letter to Fred Gable, assistant dean of Temple University. In part: “I am honored that you should ask me to speak to your students in your ‘Societal Topic’ series…I, however, am rather peculiar, in that I feel a painter’s place is in his studio, not on a speaker’s platform. His paintings should speak for him!” In fine condition, with a couple light creases and staple holes to the upper left. Accompanied by a copy of Gable’s letter in response. RRAuction COA.
