TLS signed “Daniel C. French,” one page, 8.5 x 10.5, personal letterhead, April 10, 1920. In a letter to W. F. Paris, Esq., French writes, in full: “In the natural course of events, a letter should be written to the Secretary or the Director of the Metropolitan Museum, offering the bust as a gift. It will then be brought formally before the Sculpture Committee, who will report to the Executive Committee, who will approve the acceptance. This may seem like red tape to you, but it seems easier to conform to rules. As I told you, the matter has already been brought up informally by me, before the Sculpture Committee, and favorable action of the Committee is assured. I am sorry to make you additional trouble.” Intersecting folds, one passing through the middle initial of the signature, light surface creasing, and light toning around the edges, otherwise fine condition.
