over having quoted your "I am a small brunette: What shall I eat, and what exercises shall I take, to appear a large blonde" in an article on Skyscrapers in the last "American Architect" It has long been a treasured saying in our family.

This is being very literally "scratched off" with a hotel pen, but I hope you can read it.

You liking the way I have edited the letters means a great deal to me - for I tried very hard to let my father make a picture of himself in them, and to keep my personality out - I think I must have succeeded for, as Mr. Doubleday says, people seem to think the letters edited themselves - but thats the height of it isn't' it?

Yours very gratefully
