[Letter from John Hutton to Peter Stewart, December 30, 1972]

Letter from John Hutton to Peter Stewart discussing three designs that he has created for a glass panel in the Chapel of Thanksgiving.

He describes Design 'B' as "representing the different religions and beliefs of man". He says the Dove in Design 'C' represents strength and vitality and is a Giver.
