Gropius, Ise.
Pritchard, John Craven,recipient

Ise Gropius has been very busy giving talks and correcting books on Walter Gropius & the Bauhaus, such as the one by [Marcel] Franciscono, and has had an article published in the 'Forum' [Buckminster Fuller issue].

She asks if the large exhibit designed by the Building Centre Trust will go on tour. Australia would be interested and Harry Seidler would co-operate.

The International Exhibitions Foundation failed to get funding from the Japanese Embassy. Ise has approached the Goethe Institut in Munich which has just bought an exhibition from the Bauhaus-Archiv

The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities has agreed to take over the Gropius House. Ise will visit Ati and John Johansons' house in the Hudson Valley, and the Gropius exhibition in Florida, for which Charles Forberg has built a model of the Totaltheater

She asks Pritchard if he knows Christoffer Jenchs [sic] who has published a book in which he accuses Gropius of seeking Goebbels' help, a distortion of Barbara Lane's book
