Abstract
In 1963, Clayton and Betty Bailey received a thank-you note from the artist H. C. Westermann. Close analysis of this piece of correspondence expands our understanding of Westermann while shedding light on the relationship between communication and creativity, as well as the importance of gift giving in fostering community among mid-century American artists.
