Subject: Caroline Villers Research Fellowship
I am writing to ask you to help support the Caroline Villers Research Fellowship, which was established at the Courtauld Institute of Art following Caroline's sudden death in December last year. The Fellowship will be annually awarded to researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that focus on technical art history, an area of study of which Caroline was a pioneer. As a truly dedicated effort on the part of one of Caroline's former conservation students, Morwenna Blewett plans to run the New York Marathon on November 6th in memory of Caroline. In doing so she seeks sponsorship to help raise money for the Fellowship. I hope that you will be generous in your sponsorship for Morwenna's run, which will in turn help to fund the Caroline Villers Research Fellowship. All gifts received will be directed to the Fellowship. Donations in the US should be made payable to the Somerset House Art History Foundation and are tax deductible for American income tax purposes. Checks should be sent to: Somerset House Art History Foundation 320 Mallwyd Road Merion Station, PA 19066 Donations in the UK should be made payable to the CIA Fund Villers Fellowship and sent to: Caroline Villers Research Fellowship c/o Development Office Courtauld Institute of Art Somerset House Strand London WC2R ORN I thank you for helping to create a lasting memorial for Caroline.
