Dear Mrs. Zeugner:
Thank you for your letter.
I am enclosing a printed letter with information about The Fountainhead, which may interest you.
As to your question, the Stoddard Temple in my book was pure invention. I have never seen or heard of the unfinished temple in Chicago to which you refer. Nor have I read any mentions of it in the histories of modern architecture. If you have more information about it or the name of its architect, I would be curious to know about it, too.
With appreciation of your interest,
Sincerely yours,
Ayn Rand
P.S. Please forgive me if your name is not spelled correctly, I am not certain of the spelling of your signature.
