Andre writes "May you & Ruth & all your family enjoy a healthy, happy, & prosperous New Year! PAXETLVX" With respect to Marvin's suggestion about inscribing language on his flat plate sculptures, he wrote the following after the poet "lao Tzu." "The way is for ever nameless.

As soon as there are namesine ought to know it is time to stop." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
