My wife, Adriana Williams, and I were interested to see the article on Miguel Covarrubias in the December 1995 issue. Some of the information in it was gleaned from the recent biography Covarrubias, written by my wife and published by the University of Texas Press in November of 1994. The caricatures reproduced from the Library of Congress were donated by us several years ago.

While we welcome any articles about this amazing genius and his works, we regretted the writer’s failure to mention the biography. Surely the ten years’ research and work by Adriana Williams deserve better!
