Dear T.

Didn't get the Gug. Fellowship- Learned this yesterday. Was hoping I'd have such good news to relate to you.  No matter - Im just angry enough at this point to do some exciting painting without the assistance of the noble Guggenheim Foundation. Never will I apply for a " [[Guggenheim]] or any other in the future.

My painting equipment has just arrived from Rochester via express & I've been busy setting up a working place in the wonderful basement on the premises where I work. I'm so thrilled that I can paint there. I've already stretched 4 or 5 canvases so that I can begin to really paint this Tuesday.

The human spirit is resilient & I'm just a rubber ball.

Happy Easter - 
Love
Esther
