On letterhead printed with "Hares Lane Radnor Pennsylvania", the letter reads: Nov 27th 1948 To the Southwest Harbor Library Southwest Harbor, Me, I believe you have a painting of the old Clark Wharf which I loaned to the library years ago. This painting is still my property and I have [illegible] decided to present to the library [?] permanent possession. I only ask['ed' struck out] it be treated with respect and not sold or bartered. Painting of this size and character of mine have sold around $2500.00 and I consider this a good example of my work. If the Library committee decides to accept it for its permanent collection I would like a formal acknowledgement Very sincerely yours, Chas. Morris Young I would suggest that the painting be cleaned with a little ivory soap and cold water this will not harm it. Very likely the frame would be improved by regilding with a coat of regular gold paint or powder. C.M.Y.
