Beyond Craft

July 15, 1970

Mrs. Sheila Hicks
Atelier des Grand Augustins
30 Rue Dauphine
Paris 6
France

Dearest Sheila:

I don't know whether you will be getting to Tangiers, but if you do, be sure you look in at the USIA Library there, and perhaps you can use some kind of influence to persuade whoever needs persuading that the windows, the exhibitions, might be presented in such a way as to indicate at least the conscious professionalism that exists in our United States. 

I found the presentations shoddy, dull, and lacking in any of the professional, visual perfections of which we are so capable. Just a thought.

A biento.
