John Sparks Limited London, W.1 March 3, 1953

Dear Mr. Sparks,
...There are many fi ne things in British collections and as these come on the market from time to time
I want to feel that I have someone to represent me on the spot.
In the Parnassus of January, 1938 you advertised a stone sculpture of a man holding a lotus blossom
from lung men - height 34 1/2 in, and if this should ever become available contact me at once…
With best regards,
S. Junkunc, III
