Dear Walt,
In case you thought I had dropped dead somewhere between here and Los Angeles I just want to report that Diana’s [sic] picture finally arrived here. (air-express)
Having a chance to study it in a good light I have put in the back-ground in their true values etc. finished the little odds and ends, but didn’t want to send it off until I got a criticism from a couple of artists here. Also, I want the curator of Fine Arts from the Met[ropolitan Museum of Art] to pass on it which he will do the first of the week. So she will start on her way to you some time next week.
I am more than please with what has been said about the canvas, and you and Lilian [sic] won’t be surprised to hear that one and all consider Diana [sic] a raving beauty. I not only think she is beautiful but I think she is one of the darlings of the world.
So my love to the Disney family and I am looking forward so much to seeing all of you when you pass through New York.
