[1] In correspondence concerning the sale transaction, there were multiple inquiries by former Joslyn Art Museum director William A. McGonagle to Clyde Newhouse to meet Charles B. Hickcox when he was visiting New York. A previous cataloguing sheet listed to ask McGonagle if Hickcox and family were the previous owners of the van Es, or if the inquiries were unrelated.
