"Dear Dudley, That was a moving letter you wrote me after reviewing my father's exhibition in Harrisburg. I shared your fine letter to my mother and she was so pleased. I think my father was good but I didn't think he was this great. He certainly paints rings around worst of the painters of this age-and with such power. I often think how delighted my father would have been with what you are doing and your success. -With love to Peggy and yourself, Andy". 1 page double sided, folds, generally very good condition.
