TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, MacDowell Colony Endowment Fund letterhead, May 7, 1937. Letter to Professor Charles S. Skilton. In part: “The property at Peterborough…has never been in more excellent condition. Studios, living accommodations and the Library present an appearance of which we may all be proud…Only by enlarging the general Endowment Fund can the future of the Colony be assured…I know that all of us who have been privileged to work at the Colony understand its vital importance to American artists and would like to help now if we could. Your gifts of whatever size would prove most helpful.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RR Auction COA.
