“Dear friend Petridès, all my best and see you very soon. Since we must return to worries and the steak… we would still like to stay here for three months , or more… working, without thinking about anything else. We completely switch off… we are focused on the enduring nature of the pictorial work. I hope all is well with you! Enclosed is a social note where you can see that even though the newspaper misspelled your name, I haven't forgotten you. Please keep this clipping for me. Best regards.”
