Ise asks for Molly's help to find some tartan fabric for a piece of furniture. She has been preparing the English language catalogue of the Gropius Exhibition to be mounted at the Fogg Museum. It will include a model of the Totaltheater. TAC is involved in the design.

Ati and Charles Forberg stayed over Christmas. Mrs [Gudrun] Simmons has sent Ise a copy of a letter from the Arts Council [which has declined to support the staging of the Gropius Exhibition in Britain]. Ise will send copies of the Catalogue to Molly, [William] Holford and Max [Fry] including a copy for the RIBA library. German produced version of the exhibition continues its tour of Europe. Mrs [Gudrun] Simmons has written to Ise reporting on the establishment of the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin. Alex Cvijanovic is guiding the building phase.

Ise recalls Walter Gropius advising the younger members of TAC.
