Dear Miss O'Keefe [sic]—
I have wanted to tell you how much enjoyment I have gotten from a magazine reproduction of your painting “Bindweed” which appeared in a womans [sic] publication some time in the 1930's. I framed it and hung it at the foot of my bed, so that it is the first thing I see when I open my eyes every morning…. I have been half-blind since the age of 10, and can't even find my glasses without my glasses, but your lovely flower, so full of faith and tenacity and hope and courage—this I can see. (July 1968)1
