Note

11/11/2001 received letter from Stephen J. Kunitz, M.D, Rochester, NY stating that he had inherited from his uncle, Lawrence Hopkins Odell, two vases with pictures (Summer and Spring) of Sunnyside on them. The vases were made by Odell and Booth Brothers pottery in the 1880s. His uncle's family co-owned the local pottery company. Dr. Kunitz stated that his family may want to donate the vases to Historic Hudson Valley at some point in the future. For Visions exhibition, packed in Crate #17.
