Dear Aleister,

 

Please—I am working on the Fool and I've done the Lovers so do not tartly say I am having a long holiday!

     

The caravan is a great success. Most cosey and so much easier than a house. Your explanation of Lilith is not enough. She is a piebald wench and not to be trusted but in some ways Eve is a Krugley Queen when compared with her.

     

I am glad the Falconer has caught your Hawk and that you are happier.

     

I will struggle with the Fool. He does writhe about. I can't see him. Has he got any children with him and is not his bag a jester's balloon? That innocent gaiety asks for the brush of a saint and my lines come out like treacle. I wish I could paint in crystals.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Frieda Harris
