Dearest Sylvia,
I remember when some of your letters used to be
written in the Hastings Reference Library. Mine, to-
day is leive, written in the B.M. The immense dome
of the reading room rises above me. The B.M. clerk
has just struck eleven. I think it is fast. I make it
only five minutes to. Sunlight is breaking in here
despite a very bad start. What is it like in Pelt? w
none had two uninteresting days. What, I wonder, are you doing, at this time? The students and scholars a-
round me are rather depressing, and I am confirmed
in my resolve not to become a permanent art hist-
orian. I must devote myself to poetry, for a while
unless more art is done. I feel with you as my subject
inspiration is inexhaustible. I have got the Panov-
sky pojerevies to Titian and I will include them in my
next letter. They are very rich in poetic suggestions.
On Saturday, I went through a ten years file of Burl-
ington magazines and rated general articles and let-
ters and attributions about giogione over the years.
You must not neglect that source of information.
In one Kenneth Clark quotes from Tebaldo. I went
to Hampton Court yesterday with Dennis and in three
hours we had only got as far round as the Kent dining
hall we studied the picture so closely. One day I'd like
to give a talk on Jocapo Baramo. your brown Salnzon
sold me 50 Swiss francs - what is about lb2"18. He
wanted to charge me lb3"10 - apparently because it was
a semi-black market deal. He didn't say, frankly, he
wanted to make 12s. out of 70s. from me but called
it 'a fair price'. I protested and he said he didn't want
to haggle but gave me 55 at a lb3"10 rate which was
better! What do you think of that? I must stop now
and I shall post this at lunch time. I hope for news
from you, my love.

Dearest Sylvia,

I remember when some of your letters used to be written in the Hastings Reference Library. Mine, today is being written in the B.M. The immense dome of the reading room rises above me. The B.M. clock has just struck eleven. I think it is fast. I make it only five minutes to. Sunlight is breaking in here despite a very bad start. What is it like at Pelt? We have had two winterish days. What, I wonder, are you doing at this time? The students and scholars around me are rather depressing and I am confirmed in my resolve not be become a permanent art historian. I mmust devote myself to poetry for a while when Hogarth is done. I feel with you as my subject inspiration is inexhaustible. I have got the Pavorsky references to Titian and I will include them in my next letter. They are very rich in poetic suggestions. On Saturday I went through a ten years file of Burlington Magazines and noted several articles and letters and attributions about Giorgions over the years. You must not neglect that source of information. In one Kenneth Clark quotes from Tebaldo. I went to Hampton Court yesterday with Dennis and in three hours we had only got as far round as the Kent dining hall we studied the pictures so closely. One day I'd like to give a talk on Iacopo Barano. You know Johnson sold me 50 Swiss francs - worth about 2..18. He wanted to charge me 3..10 - apparently because it was a semi-black market deal. He didn't say frankly he wanted to make 12s. out of 70s. from me but called it a 'fair price'. I protested and he said he didn't want to haggle but gave me 55 of the 3..10 rate which was better! What do you think of that? I must stop now and I shall post this at lunch time. I hope for news from you, my love.
