Portrait of dancer Alvin Ailey. Embossed on front: "Photograph by Carl Van Vechten." Handwritten on back: "Dec. 17, 1962. Dear Mr. Myers, PTO is Alvin Ailey. I have a couple of large envelopes for you but this is not a good time to mail them. You will get them in January. I had a fine letter [undecipherable] you in August, Leontyne is magnificent in Ernani and I have a program for you. Shirley & Dobbs are also at the Met. Merry Christmas, Carl Van Vechten."
