Dear Peter:
I am most deeply thankful to you for the excellent portrait which Marrie Hart so kindly delivered to me recently. Never having thought of myself as a person whose portrait would be painted, I am still getting used to the idea!

It is a fine piece of work, however, in my opinion, and I am grateful to you as well for making the sitting so easy and pleasurable a time. If there is any way in which I can be helpful in your continuing work, please tell me so.

In the meantime, thanks once again and be assured of my prayerful best wishes for you and for your family.
