Document content

Sonja Ferlov Mancoba writes to Steingrim Laursen about the placement of her sculpture in the Botanical Garden. She is pleased that it has been set up as if it has grown out of the gravel, but she wonders if it should have a low pedestal after all. She expresses regret over the recordings for Torben Glarbo's film about her. She is disappointed that she did not have the right circumstances to express what she wanted to say. Now she and Ernest Mancoba are seeking to regain peace and balance.
