FILE PERSONA

Dear Toshiko,
I am recently back from Philadelphia where I went to Moore College for an honorary doctorate. Though I had a wonderful visit and loved visiting the Philadelphia Museum I was happy to return to Ojai. I love the quiet here and the mountains more than all of wonderful attractions of the east.

I have the catalogue of your exhibition and again appreciate the sensitivity you bring to your pieces. Anyone can make a hole in clay but not many go beyond that. I admit it is wonderful that so many have turned to crafts and that America leads the world in originality and responses to beauty.

Know that if ever you are coming to California that we would love to have you spend a couple of days in Ojai, even though a guest does not have as much comfort as she deserves.

With much love,
Beatrice
