This one page letter on Plaza Hotel stationery, New York. Expected mailing folds, ink smudging at about a dozen words, not affecting Wright’s signature. The letter to architect J. C. Caraway, “My dear Cary”, an apprentice at Taliesin, who was employed by Wright. The letter, in part, "We were getting a little apprehensive - feeling our thanks to our many friends for their contributions would seem tardy – There should be some appropriate acknowledgment…Let us have this list as soon as you can so we can respond…The bill in the assembly is a bit disappointing – because I thought some actual concession was to be legally made specific to our Foundation as a reward for service already rendered – etc…I want to meet with the special committee – and with the Governor…”
In 1954, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin, despite his argument that Taliesin was primarily a school and should therefore be tax-exempt. Caraway suggested that Wright's friends should express their appreciation by taking up a collection.
