"They are receptive to the new, although they do not know what it is. Thus I do occasionally feel that my effort has not been in vain. They find the idea of the N.B. sound and quite magnificent, but think that it will be quite a long time before people are ready for it."
"Dear Does , thank you for your letter.. .I was glad to know that in principle you are in favour of the diamond hanging and I think that in practice you will approve of this method for some of my things. You look at the thing itself, and not only the outward appearance.."
"With regard to the diagonal, too, I am in complete agreement with you . As soon as it appears together with straight lines, I believe it should be condemned.. .A while back I started a thing entirely in diamonds like this . I have to find out if it's possible: intellectually I'm inclined to say it is. There's something to be said for the idea, because perpendicular and flat lines can be seen everywhere in nature; by using a diagonal line I would be canceling that out. But I'm inclined to say that this cannot be combined with perpendicular and flat lines or with different kinds of slanting lines."
