Dearest Sylvia,

Thank you so much for your nice fat letter. It was both thoughtful and gay and I was glad for both halves. Glad for the description of you and Michael at present because it does help me. Glad for the charming Minervan passages because it is time we were cheerful again.

Your White Owl arrived this morning quite early and gave me news of you. When we heard the post come he winked at me and said: 'There's one for you. No. Stay there - I'll get it'. The Tawny Owl patronises him a little but is genuinely fond of him. I have, however, warned the White One against certain traps for Owls in the West End of London where it is not safe for him to venture. He said that he would be safe because you would appear in a cloud if he was in danger and carry him off as you did for many Greek heroes. But I persuaded him it was unfair to disturb you as you were busy painting and 'with a wisdom beyond his years' he agreed. Still, I'm glad the Tawny One will keep an eye on him. Thank you, Minerva, for him: I shall sacrifice a kiss morning and night on your altar (it is in the rose-corner of my room). Yesterday the three of us visited the exhibition of Picasso lithographs and were especially struck by five owl pictures (you will just be in time to see them when you come to town.). The Tawny Owl says it is a speaking likeness of an owl he knew during the war (he was in the Free France Owls) named Pierre Hibou. The White Owl wants his portrait done now. I have told him that only you can do him.

I am so happy about the reflection. The fact it is solid, like Michael's portrait and my fauve one, shows surely that your drawing advances in the way you desire.

My address in Bath is: c/o Mrs Lyttle, 64 St. John's Road, Bathwick, Bath, Somerset. (Bathwick is essential.) I shall be there from the 18th to about the 23rd. I hope you will write to me there for be sure I shall write to you. Both owls are looking forward to the trip. I have sent the White Owl out in my duffle coat to see if he can 'pick up' a good book on Bath for me. The Tawny Owl had scruples about this but I managed to bring him around to my way of thinking but I notice that he jumps at every knock or ring on the door.

Dearest Sylvia,

Thank you so much for your nice fat letter. It
was both thoughtful and gay and I was glad for both
halves. Glad for the description of you and Michael
at present because it does help me. Glad for the
charming Minervan passages because it is time we
were cheerful again.

Your White Owl arrived this morning quite early
and gave me news of you. When we heard the post come
he winked at me and said: 'There's one for you. No.
Stay there - I'll get it'. The Tawny Owl patronises
him a little but is genuinely fond of him. I have,
however, warned the White One against certain traps
for Owls in the West End of London where it is not
safe for him to venture. He said that he would be
safe because you would appear in a cloud if he was
in danger and carry him off as you did for many Greek
heroes. But I persuaded him it was unfair to dis-
turb you as you were busy painting and 'with a wisdom
beyond his years' he agreed. Still, I'm glad the Tawny
One will keep an eye on him. Thank you, Minerva, for
him: I shall sacrifice a kiss morning and night on your
altar (it is in the rose-corner of my room). Yester-
day the three of us visited the exhibition of Picasso
lithographs and were especially struck by five own
pictures (you will just be in time to see them when
you come to town.). The Tawny Owl says it is a speak-
ing likeness of an owl he knew during the war (he was
in the Free Frence Owls) named Pierre Hibou. The
White Owl wants his portrait done now. I have told
