Letter Signed. One page, Quarto, on imprinted personal letterhead, n.p.,

designed the "I Want You!" Uncle Sam recruiting posters for the US Army circa
WWII. Gibson writes, in full:
"Its an important artistic event when
James Montgomery Flagg fills a gallery with his remarkable pencil portraits.
They speak for themselves -- Flagg's insight into Character and his brilliant
Technique makes this latest display of his gifts a delight. I am glad of the
opportunity to congratulate him [ ? ] Brothers and in public. C.D. Gibson"
