Dear Joe - 
Today I received the enclosed letter from the Walker Art Institute asking me to write a preface to your forthcoming show there - I don't know why, unless it was my enthusiasm about you that led Arnason originally to your work. Enclosed also is the preface - which is meant to be a present from me to you, a poor one compared those you've given me during these years, but with its own character too - if you don't want it used, tell me at once, I have no desire to intervene unless [[underlined]] you [[/underlined]] desire it, & will stop them if you want. 

Come & see us when we're settled in this old house. 

Affectionately yours
Bob
