I felt that I should wait until I had more recent paintings to select from for an exhibition: Meanwhile I am working hard and steady. There is much ahead to be done - and thought about. At this point I would much rather converse - than write. It is too long. There are going to be immense changes - Innovations in the long run - reach inevitable impasses. What is [[crossed out]] to [[/crossed out]] new ripens and becomes old......

Now a word about the studio in the little shrine - on Royal Plaza St. Lauderdale. I am sure it is beautiful but please remember don't prod or hasten Edna to paint. I know she will, as soon as she has thought out her way of new approach. When the time comes she will surprise us all. I know she is thinking profoundly, and there's much to be thought of and about - it will all fructify into splendid pictures.

Please forgive me for not writing sooner than this. I hope you are well and as happy as ever Frances and Joy join me in affectionate greetings to you and Edna. As ever devotedly yours
