Good Morning Friends,
By the age of forty-one, in 1908, Wright had achieved extraordinary social and professional success. Yet a confusing doubt was beginning to grow, a malaise which had opposite causes not unconnected with the relation of modernism to Western traditional architecture. During this time he was struggling with the idea that was becoming uppermost in his mind, the " Cause of American Architecture." The idea formulated almost as Baptist sermon by his father:
Personally, again, I have met little more than the superficial snap-judgment-insult of the artistically informed. I am quite used to it, glad to owe it nothing in any final outcome. But, meanwhile, the "Cause" suffers delay!

I will continue with more tomorrow.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones
