Dear Mervyn,

I would just be an anachronism in any Institute - "You would be a thorn in their flesh" said one of my friends.

However, of course my very best wishes go to the Australian Insititute of Landscape Architects. It is unfortunate that "Gardens in Australia" is out of print but I have submitted to Rigbys of Adelaide a furthers record of my work entitled "The Architecture of the Garden", and if this should be published it might perhaps be of some use to the Institute one day.

Yours Sincerely,

Edna.

P.S. Do you know Mervyn I have always thought that if I had been as nice as you are I'd have been a great success!
