YEAR	DESCRIPTION	ST#
1919	Handwritten Letter from Wright to Miriam Noel in 1919 while he was in Japan working on the Imperial Hotel. Written on The Ikao Hotel letterhead, Ikao, Japan. "–1919. Miriam - dearest: I have gone to 'keep my eye off the other fellow'. It will a hard work for me! against my grain but I know how to concentrate and to hope. I shall write Krymska that I realize I need look no-where for causes for your condition except in my own chicanery jealousies and suspicions. I will write Wigginture the same. Mogind also - although that has already been done. I had already written Sherman Booth in my last letter to him that 'you had made me a better, straighter man and a dirty job you had had of it.' Read your Science in this ideal cool healing spot of earth. I will be doing the same for my life! Do not despair - God is, you know and outcasts though we are and sinful as I am he knows and is kind - because he is good. 'The work of Frank Lloyd Wright' has a new and sinister look to me now. I shall wince when I see it on the drawings and books - I shall think of that other work to be attributed to that same name - with perfect truth. God bless you - my dear - I needed you so much more than you needed me. I know now what I - what is me in human sense has done -- Frank."
