Dear Mr Bowron,
More than 25 years ago, the Winthrop family gathered at the Fogg Art Museum to learn more about the Grenville L Winthrop collection which you were kind enough to orchestrate. John Winthrop and I were the Winthrop family organizers. I have volunteered to give a talk this spring on Grenville Winthrop and remember well your lecture at the Cosmopolitan Club about him. I think that you were considering writing his biography and wonder if you did. Would it be possible to for us to talk?
Best regards, Libby Borlden
