There is a soft undulation throughout the sheet. Both parts framed under Plexiglas.

"At the very moment when harmony is about to be reached, entropy sets in...Letter contains an element of change that interrupts normative stability. The letter, handed down, may turn out to be as weak a link in stolid life as the twisted railroad track." Coosie Van Bruggen in Exh. Cat., Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art (and traveling), John Baldessari, March 1990 - February 1992, p. 163
