The letters are as follows:1. A one page autograph letter signed by Harry Wickey, as curator of the exhibition, penned on Storm King Art Center stationery. In his letter dated July 21, 1964, Wickey writes to Fridolf Johnson, then executive director of American Artist that "Twenty Six photographs of the items you are interested in including in the American Artist's review of the Storm King Art Center's Animals in Art Exhibition were mailed to you today." Wickey had hoped to mail these sooner but "ran into difficulties owing to the fact that the photos of Durers Rhinoceros and Tarts Cattle in a Stable had been mislaid."
