Scope and content

German and English texts. Gropius has received 2 letters from Maxwell Fry. The Gropiuses have arranged to travel to London from Rome. Gropius encloses his manuscript for Professor Read [Faber & Faber]. It follows closely the text of the lecture he gave in London. He also encloses the German text of an old essay "Idee und Aufbau des Staatlichen Bauhauses". Gropius suggests the title "My part on the new building trail". He hopes to leave for Rome on 4th October and gives an address in Rome. He has received a letter from 'Concrete Way' and has agreed to delete the offending text
