This etching was a thank you gift to "Howard," for placing Orpha's portrait of Will Rogers and Wiley Post at "the Fair." Could "Howard" have been Howard Hughes placing the painting at the 1939 World's Fair in New York?

The note accompanies this etching. It is hand written, impressively stylish, edged in silver, and done in Orpha's tiny detailed calligraphy.
