General

Photocopy or Brett's painting. Caption on image "On the back of this bl/eh. Photograph Brett wrote: Taos Pueblo Indian Ceremonial - the feathers dance - danced by young men and women, mostly teen-agers $2,000." Second page caption "This painting was given to the University of Texas, Austin (?) you told me it is haging in the Governer's Mansion, -do I remember correctly? I also sold the same institution the 3 handwritten Lady Chatterly's by Lawrence. They were left to me by my husband, who died in 1962, age: 44. The manuscripts were a marvel, written in Lawrence's beautiful handwriting, with very few corrections. I felt I should not hold on to such treasures."
