Rudolph Schaeffer was a pioneer in the Modern Art Movement. He was an artist (serving as Art Director of Theater at Berkeley), a designer, teacher, writer, collector of Asian art, and pioneer in the field of color study in costume. He founded the noted Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design in San Francisco in 1926. Wright was interested in Schaeffer's work and in 1958 visited his school. A photograph of that visit is illustrated on the Smithsonian Institution website. This is the letter Wright wrote Schaeffer setting up that visit.
Typed letter signed, on his Taliesin letterhead, Wisconsin, March 7, 1958, to Schaeffer. "I would like to drop in if there is time the next time I am in the city. Aaron Green keeps tabs of the activities during my visits there and he could let you know my plans."
A search of public sale records going back 40 years fails to disclose any other letters written from Wright to Schaeffer.
