ALS, 1p, 7¼" X 10½", West Palm Beach, FL, 1970 April 13. Addressed to Paul Johnston. Near fine. On his "Sea Lake Studio" letterhead, the renowned artist pens, in his handsome calligraphic hand in black fineline, this superb content letter to an admirer discussing his career. In part: ".very pleasant to hear about the 1954 design being regarded as effective after all these years. This was my only accepted stamp design -- was runner-up for the West Va. Centennial -- and then they ignored the winner after all. Also competed in competition for the Gettysburg Cent. and the American Dental Ass'n Centennial. Had left the Bureau of Engraving in Wash. where I had engraved all or parts of nine stamps, in 1947 for private employment w/a banknote co. in Phila, where I had opportunity of working on several hundred during next 15 years. Will enclose a brochure which describes a new career I began in 1962. My wife is a sculptor. & our two sons. are both in the art field." Couldn't-be-finer contents! Aforementioned brochure also present.
