Dear Ann:
I enjoyed chatting with you this morning concerning the piece of
sculpture we can possibly get from the Smithsonian for Atlanta.
I am enclosing the letter from my brother, along with description
of the sculpture.
As information, my brother's name is John C. Widener. He is a
permanent member of the Exhibits Staff of the U. S. National Museun,
and is organizer of a group working in designing, duplicating, re-
modeling in plastics to complement the expanding exhibits program.
He is at present acting as consultant to a firm in New York, New
York, who will construct a whale for the American Museum. (He con-
structed the ninety-two foot replica of a whale which is on exhibit
at the U. S. National Museum), and is also presently under contract
to the National Geographic Society to duplicate five replicas of an
extraordinary skill (Zingthantropus) discovered by Dr. Leaky in Africa.
It is John's feeling that the piece of sculpture, Hadad, since origi-
nally ordered for the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, should return to
Atlanta for a permanent home,
I hope you will find an early opportunity to discuss this with Mayor
Allen and other interested persons, as we are anxious to learn their
feelings concerning this gift for Atlanta.
Cordially, A
