Four items signed by the father-and-son IBM executives: a scarce oversized matte-finish 11 x 14 portrait of Watson, Sr., in his office below a 'Think' sign, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth H. Browne, with best wishes from Thos. J. Watson, 5/31/50"; a TLS by Watson, Sr., signed "Thos. J. Watson," one page, personal letterhead, January 6, 1950, in part: "You ask whether or not I have ever visited your Pine Tree State. Yes, Mrs. Watson and I know the state well and also Bangor as we had a summer home in Camden during the 1930's, and our children often recall with us the many good times we enjoyed there"; a TLS by Watson, Jr., signed "T. J. Watson, Jr.," one page, personal letterhead, April 15, 1957, in part: "I appreciate your good wishes for my family and your kind remarks concerning my career"; and a TLS by Watson, Jr., signed "T. J. Watson, Jr.," one page, personal letterhead, April 18, 1961, in part: "Unfortunately my travels do not bring me to Arizona too often, but I am familiar with its beneficial climate. I hope it has proved helpful in alleviating your wife's rheumatic condition." In very good to fine condition, with poor contrast and some surface scuffing to the signed photo. Accompanied by two TLSs from Murray Hutchinson, both dated June 1, 1950, writing on behalf of Thomas J. Watson, Sr.
