Letter, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy to Frederick J. Kiesler, 1944
Collection
Identifier: 008.02.05
Description of the Collection
Three paragraph letter dated Dec. 15, 1944 from Laszlo Moholy-Nagy to Frederick J. Kiesler expressing regrets that he (Kiesler) "Cannot come now" and inviting him to come in May. Context of the invitation is unknown.

The letter probably refers to that lecture invitation.
