- Two-bar musical quotation and inscription penned in blue ink in Victor Babin's hand on a gilt-edged, cream-colored page, 10-3/4 inches high by 8-1/4 inches wide, from the guest book of Grace Bristed and C. D. Jackson at the Dakota. Signed "Vitya Vronsky" and "Victor Babin" and dated "Feb. 5th, 1956". There is a stain to the bottom edge of the page. Very good.
