Curatorial Remarks" My big poster (rough sketch) design for the Fisk Rubber Co. of Springfield has been accepted with enthusiasm. This offers me a really fine chance in spite of its being a commercial drawing, and incidentally should net me 7 or $800.00" (NCW to Henriette Zirngiebel Wyeth, "I've been wondering all week...," and dated in another hand Jan. 18, 1917, Wyeth Family Archives).
