Dear Mr. Weisberg.

Please find enclosed the contact sheets for my photographs of Dealey Plaza, shot on April 12. 1997.

Some frames "blanked out" because of a failing battery, which was replaced partway through the shooting.

There are five (5) sheets with a total of one hundred and twenty-five frames, six of which are "blanks.-

You had asked for some pictures of the grassy knoll, so there are a lot of them for you. I wanted you to get just the right angle.

Weather conditions: Bright and sunny Time: Early afternoon

As these are my only contact sheets, please make a separate list of what you want and return it with the sheets, so there will be no errors. Unless you state that you need otherwise. I will send 8" x 10" prints in protective sleeves.

The writing on the wooden picket fence is being recorded and some will be used in my coming work, "The Writing on the Fence." You will be the first to receive a copy of this, my observations on my Dealey Plaza trip

I look forward to hearing from you, and the best of luck in everything.

Sincerely.

Brett D Brodersen
