Dear Monsignor O'Connell: When I visited the Carmel Mission last August, I tried to find some colored pictures from which I could attempt a small painting of the mission.1 Later a number of individuals kindly sent me colored photographs and slides, but none of them was quite right. Fortunately, however, I found in a magazine a very nice view of the edifice and one that was in sufficient detail that I could make out the principal features.
In any event, from this photograph I painted a small picture, which I should like to present to the Mission, to yourself and to the Sisters who so kindly greeted Mrs. Eisenhower and me the day we visited there.
The painting is, of course, the work of a rank amateur and deserves no place of prominence, but because the subject itself involves all of you, I thought you might like the result of my efforts. It will arrive by railway express within a very short time.
With warm greetings to all of you and, of course, personal regard to yourself, Sincerely
