Dear Mrs. Saltonstall:

This has been a most gratifying year for the Busch-Reisinger Museum Association because of the large number of new members who have joined us. It is indeed a great deal to us to know that our work has such wide support.

It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of the Association to the Museum and to the University. It enables us to undertake our most interesting activities - lectures, exhibitions, concerts and even acquisitions. Your membership helps us to do these things and to keep our galleries open during the college year.

It is because of this importance that I am writing you again. I hope that we may count on your help and that you are planning to support us this year as you have, so generously, in the past.

Very truly yours,

[Signature]
Charles L. Kuhn
Curator
