How proud Mr. Parlee would continually be if you as you over and over grow (?) to be he's extension and successor in art history.

Mr. & Mrs. David Driscoll [blacked out box]
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Driscoll: On September 27, 1989, I received a telephone call from Miss Elizabeth Catlett who sculptured two works for you entitled: "Maternity" and "Woman Resting." She told me to tell you she has given her consent for me to use mass reproductions of those works in a legistative kit for education of Mothers' and Children's Rights. She told me to write to you to ask your permission as owners for me to obtain a photographic reproduction of these works from the Bronx Museum.
If you need further information, please feel free to call me and I shall be glad to give you more informationon the project.
I look forward to hearing from you. Very truly yours, Joanne Weise Snyder [signature] Joanne Weise Snyder jws
