TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11 and 8 x 10 respectively, National Corporate Fund for Dance letterhead, December 31, 1978. Letter of thanks to a contributor. In part: “As the artistic directors of the nine constituent dance companies of The National Corporate Fund for Dance, Inc., we would like to thank you for Chase Manhattan’s gift to the Corporate Fund’s 1978 campaign. This year more than 125 corporations supported the Fund. Of this total, your company was among those making leadership grants of $5,000 or more. We deeply appreciate this support. Our very existence depends on creativity and talent. We are very fortunate to be working with creative and talented artists who share our dedication in building the best dance repertoire in the world. And, we are equally fortunate that you are helping us by providing some of the support so necessary to accomplish our task.” Signed on the second page in ink and felt tip by Alvin Ailey, Robert Joffrey, Lucia Chase, and Oliver Smith of the American Ballet Theatre; Gerald Arpino [co-founder of the Joffrey Ballet]; Alwin Nikolais, Eliot Feld, Murray Louis, Merce Cunningham, Lew Christensen, and Michael Smuin of the San Francisco Ballet, and Paul Taylor. In fine condition, with a few light creases to first page and light edge toning to second page.
