Dear Gerald,

 

I think you have underrated the enclosed fine example of the Master's early work. As a finished still life in the Louvre it would look ill by the 13 men; but as a vignette to fill up letter press I think it good: very good like the 6 days of creation. But you are the master. Only I must have some vignettes.

     

Write and tell me your plans. Orpheus is gone to the press; we will conspire to suppress it later and have awful fun burning copies MSS. etc. You can never guess how hard it is to fill in type. Ye shall have proofs by mine haliday if but an ye will, syr knyghte.

     

(Excuse nervous breakdown: cf cachetic cakewalk q.v.)

     

Speak! Speak!

 

B. [Lord Boleskine].
