I can’t begin to thank you for the loan of that color film. 
There is nothing like color in motion pictures, and ny only regret Is 
there wasn't more of it. What you did have certainly high-light ec 
my still pictures, but 1 w&s not able to use the film at the lecture 
u fia» I told you about. I had a little private showing apart from 
that and, as you might well know, your movie want over Mg. I didn't 
like cutting it, because one always loses something with every 
a. 
Thanks again for your kindness. Don't hesitate to call at 
feel 
the Museum whenever 
come to town 
My very best to you and yours . 
Sincerely,
