It was written at the request of WGBH Television, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The score is similar
to that of Rozart Mix in that it comprises the correspondence between Cage, WGBH-TV and Eva Smerchek
of the Caledonia Woman's Club (who asked Cage to donate a work for a benefit auction for retarded children). The published score consists of 3 leaves, the first of which is a letter from Mrs. Eva Smerchek, the second a fax leaf with Cage's reply and the third contains directions for the realization of the film, written on a stamped envelope.
