Scope and content

Describes the Gropiuses' visit to Cuba and thanks the Pritchards for a book on the Orinoco which Ise read whilst ill. While in Cuba Walter was commissioned to build a synagogue. Ise thinks that Walter should have a promoter, as Mies van der Rohe has. Walter is busy with the American Embassy building in Athens and the Gropiuses hope to come to Europe again for this and the Berlin Exhibition. She asks for family news and ends by saying that their daughter Ati is being taught to ski by her husband Charles Forberg
