This was real rage: probably against Pickfords, who sent a piratical estimate. I have hinted like a fool to one or two people about this Magick Gesture. I hope that won’t spoil it.

Conrad Philips, now on Graphic, came & sat with me.
MAS [Maurice A. Sutherland] chess: didn’t feel like it. I wish I had a picture of a glacier to look at: just to watch something that moves.
