June 26, 1965 Dear Connie, Things develloped in such a way that quite suddenly I found myself in a plane to Europe Switzerland. My sister, whom I [begin doorhaling] came [einde doorhalong] saw in [begin doorhaling] to [einde doorhaling] New York [begin doorhaling] for a few days [einde doorhaling], [begin doorhaling] confirmed my feeling that [einde doorhaling] confirmed me that [begin doorhaling] I should [einde doorhaling] it would be very good for my mother to see me [begin doorhaling], and because I don’t know if I can take a longer leave next year I went off[?] [einde doorhaling]. my mother came to Zürich where we spent a very nice week to-gether. [begin doorhaling] and [einde doorhaling] it was good to see [begin doorhaling] how [einde doorhaling] that she gradually relaxed and how much she enjoyed every minute. She is very tense still and very [begin doorhaling] unhappy and [einde doorhaling] sad. Well, [begin doorhaling] it [einde doorhaling] the lazy days did her a lot of good [begin doorhaling] to spend some lazy days in Zürich [einde doorhaling]. I am on my may to the Engadine now and intend tot go to Holland around July 25th. You can reach me at my mother’s adress in Utrecht till the end of Aug. She received your letter about the model of [begin doorhaling] her [einde doorhaling] the house. I think that it would be [begin doorhaling] a [einde doorhaling] good [begin doorhaling] idea [einde doorhaling] to write to her somewhat more explicitely and to ask her if she agrees to have the model made for your collection. Being the owner of the house and the collaborator, she rightly feels that she should have some say in the matter. Things are too complicated to explain, but [begin doorhaling] a member [einde doorhaling] some [begin doorhaling] of [einde doorhaling] people disregard her position [begin doorhaling] and this makes her feel [einde doorhaling] which give her a [begin doorhaling] n unconfortable [einde doorhaling] disagreable + misatisfactory feeling. [begin doorhaling] It seems that there is a model [einde doorhaling] There seems to be a model of the house somewhere in Utrecht so if de wilde[?] [begin doorhaling] cannot [einde doorhaling] should be unable to help you, we might try in Utrecht. Please keep me informed. [begin doorhaling] Furthermore [einde doorhaling] You asked me about any typographical work by R. [begin doorhaling] I’ll [einde doorhaling] I don’t know if I can get hold of any. But if so, I would like to know what kind of copy you would like to have. Photocopy or a true photography (eventually in color) ? If there are any other things I [begin doorhaling] can [einde doorhaling] could do for you or the museum [begin doorhaling] […] please [einde doorhaling] don’t hesitate to ask me. I hope that your back gets a little better every day and that if the summer will be agreable – not too hot [begin doorhaling] Upon return [einde doorhaling]
