"Dear Dorothy,

Balance this on the point of your (so far) stabile. "Blow at it, and I hope it will clear, to make the whole turn. Happy New Year.

Sandy Calder"

An ANS, signed "Love, Sandy," 1p. 8.5" x 11", November 16, 1965, penned on a letter addressed to Calder from an employee at The Museum of Modern Art, asking the artist what colors should be used to repaint his gifted work. "The pain I use is Ronan's coach colors..."
