Discussing his disagreement with the architect of a building over the width of two proposed uprights. Walker considers that these 'would handicap the fullest expression'. The first letter carries a simple pencil diagram of the window. He feels 'we shall all have forgotten this point' when the window is seen 'in all its glory'. In the second letter he boasts of having filled 'architectural shapes all my life with glass', this having got him 'rather deeper than just the different orders & styles of Architecture'.
