LD. Sir John Davidson Beazley (1885-1970) a British classical archaeologist and art historian specializing in the classification of Attic vases by artistic style, and a professor of archeology and art at the University of Oxford. H. R. W. Smith (1891-1971) was also a British classical archaeologist, authority on Greek vase painting, and museum curator that spent most of his career at the University of California, Berkeley. Included in the card was a warmly inscribed letter from Beazley and wife Marie on letterhead, "September 23, 1951, Dear Mrs. Dunlap, There are indications that my Californian lectures are on the point of appearing, and I have asked the Press to send you a copy of the book with my compliments. Will you please accept it as a small token of my gratitude for your thoughtful kindness and precious aid to my wife and myself during our stay in California? We shall never forget our visits to your house and to your ranch, your driving, our conversations. I hope your children are well. With kindest regards and best wishes to you and your husband from us both, Yours sincerely J. G. Beazley." Marie then added to this note, "The lovely coloured photographs of our kind friend H. R. W. Smith sat with use in the Louvre, under a heavy grey stormy sky and cheers me wonderfully. So you were with us among the thousand fragments which under my dear husband's magic influence we're meeting once more to become cups. Love and Good Wishes. Marie Beazley" This book was from the Dunlap estate, an old well known Napa County family.
