Item Details
Description
WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1869-1959). Typed letter signed ("F. LL. W/"), to Jesse "Carey" Caraway. Taliesin, 4 June 1952.  

1 page, oblong 4to, on red-printed Taliesin stationery, creased.

Lloyd writes regarding the tax-exempt status of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation: "Although we are recognized as tax-free by Federal and State authority as a non-profit establishment devoted to the culture of the young man in Architecture we are having a hard time convincing our County Board that we should be exempted from taxes on our land and equipment, not classified with citizenry engaged in money making enterprizes of a private nature." He asks Caraway for assistance: "Should you kindly write us a note (or send a wire) expressing frankly your feeling about our work as a factor in your educational experience you might help us...'Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.'"   Wright closes the letter "Affectionately."
