I left a message for you today concerning the Melzac artworks on loan to the CIA. Mrs. Sheila Melzac, on behalf of
the Vincent Melzac Estate, is recalling the loan of all artworks to the CIA. I have attached your inventory list (of
2013) of the 18 works for reference. We request the return within 60 days from the date of this letter and ask that .a
condition report on each work be sent via email before transport of the paintings to our facility in Washington,
DC. Please arrange transport by a fine art mover to the following address with notification to me 2 weeks before
arrival.
