Dear Mrs. Sage:

This is only a personal note to thank you for your kind and prompt answer. I was so touched with what you say about you [[your]] inability to talk about your paintings. I am glad you feel that way and I apologize for the intrusion. I do not cherish this part of my job very much because I do not think that the artist should have to interprete [[interpret]] his work for us in words.

Thanking you very much again,
Waltraut M. Van der Rohe
(Miss) Waltraut M. Van der Rohe
