May 27, 1954Dear Roger, Forgive me for not having got you the list before, but we weren't set up, so to speak, to do it by old numbers easily, and I kind of dreaded the whole idea. First, the sculpture nos, you listed are ours and we will be publishing them - not in any great detail. We are also publishing some of George's 400 nos. from the Archaic Precinct. Here are the TC nos.

F nos. of JFD we are publishing a few

T 1 through 2305 2466 " 2514 * 3001 " 3265 3301 " 3337 Now for the messy part, heads mostly, arranged by molds:

T A 1 through 70 B 1 " 40 C 1 " 55 D 1 " 38 E 1 # 12 20 " 60 70 " 86 F 1-2, 4-7, 11, 13, 19-24, 26-32 G 1-2, 4-7, 9 H 2-4, 11 I 1 through 9 J 2 " 11 K 1 " 5 L 1, 4-5 M 1 through 10 N 1 " 4 O 1-3, 5, 7-8 P 1 (sic) Q 1 through 4, 6 through 25, 29 R 1 " 19, 31-54, 60-68 S 1 " 14 T 1 " 15, 17-28 U 1 " 2 V 1 " 4 W 1 " 6 X 1 " 37 Y 1 " 19 Z 1 " 3, 5-10, 12

T c 1-11 d 1-2 e 1-2 f 1-5 g 1-10 h 1-6 i 1-5, 7 j 1-11 k 1-4 m 1-3, 10-11 n 1-2 o 1-3 p 1-2 q 1-2 r 1-2 s 1-2 t 1-3 u 1 v 1-3 w 1-2

666

I regret now that we ever used this alphabetical system, but at the time it served its purpose nobly by keeping heads of the same molds together, and those of variations of the same mold under the same letter; the little gaps here and there result from switching a head from one mold to another, on further examination.

We haven't heard about progress on the publication for some time (OVER)

* In these series T 1175, 2009, 2022, 2118 are legitimately missing (no cards, no objects) and when we last took inventory 3029 and 3204 though theoretically existing could not be found.
