Box 330708 Miami, Fla. 33133 Dear Kathy: It is the desire of my wife and myself to contribute to the city of Miami Ron Bennett's sculpture "New Morning". My wife and I are the owners of this sculpture and have enclosed, as requested, a document from Ron Bennett confirming this fact. Since the sculpture is already delivered to Miami, there will be no cost to the community whatsoever. I am pleased that while it has been on exhibit for the last 8 months that it has had excellent public acceptance. It is necessary that the piece be on extended loan for approximately 2 years, and at the close of that time title will pass to the city. Please let me know if there are any other documents needed by your legal department. If there is any other assistance needed, please phone the writer at his home.
