Monsieur le Conservateur de la 
Kunsthaus de Zurich 
Zurich, Switzerland 
Dear Monsieur le Conservateur: 
Monsieur Michel‘ Florisoone has been kind enough to give 
me your name as the proper person to approach in securing a 
catalogue of the Corot Exposition held last summer in Zurich. 
Our Museum would be very glad to purchase a copy of the Exhibi- 
tion catalogue for its files. If you will be good enough to 
see that a bill in duplicate covering the cost is presented to 
our Museum, we ghall be very glad to send back a prompt remit- 
tance. 
You might possibly be interested in learning that the 
Smith College Museum added "La blonde Gascomne" by Corot to its 
permanent collection this past fall. At the time a small but 
choice exhibition of portraits and early landscapes by Corot was 
held, a check-list of which I am enclosins,.

ÜP 
In the event that you are not able to arrange for the matter 
of a catalogue, would you just as soon pass this communication on 
to the President de la Soci6te des Beaux-Arts de Zurich. We should 
appreciate receiving the catalogue at your earliest convenience, 
and wish to thank you very much for your courtesy in the matter, 
Lours sincerely 
EHP: MC
