[Letter from Peter Stewart to Philip Johnson, March 17,1972]

Letter from Peter Stewart to Philip Johnson discussing the crown of the Thanks-Giving Chapel and bells in the Thanks-Giving Square. Stewart says the crown should express Thanksgiving, confidence, strength, and not despair or disappointment. He also describes the shape and says it should be flat, aim upward, and not sink. He says they should not worry about constraints such as number of turns, static rate of rise, and mold of the spiral. He says they are "changing the world vision into a cosmic vision,' and that the Chapel should also express this. He mentions the bells in the Thanks-Giving Square and describes their shape and what they should express.
