Dearest Sylvia,

What a good idea to collaborate, you an I, on Wright of
Derby or Dobson. I should are to, not only for the reasons
that come first to mind (I am a lover first, then a critic, I
admit it), but because it would produce something excellent.
I often wish as I do this book for your opinion on a multi-
tude of points. Obviously it is not possible as things are
at present between Michael, Sylvia, and Lawrence. But how I
should love to work with you. Without you I shall only go
on for a limited time writing books - with you I should have
the motif to be more energetic.

Good, oh, good, you are painting again. Dandylion is
delighted. But - 'Michael likes it so far' you saw. 'So
far'. And what happens when he stops liking it? Do not,
darling, be dependant on Michael's approval or disapproval,
anymore than you are on Tiny's funny opinions. I know he
is more likely to be right than Tiny, but it is rather as if
a Poussin were always at the elbow of a Rubens, and Rubens,
instead of Poussin to keep to his own kind of paint-
ing, accepted his advice and toned down, modified, corrected,
adjusted, his own vigorous conceptions which are alien to
the other painter. Look at your own development this year
and you can do so with complacency I think: do you ascribe
this progress to Michael's advice or to yourself.

Your new material sounds charming and I anticipate very
pleasurably seeing you in it.

I am so glad you like my sonnet and that you have bought
a notebook for my poems. Your comparison of the sonnet with
Hubert was exactly right but I must say I thought Michael's
suggestion of Chiswick House ridiculous. Pyramid, colonnade,
Campagna, Rome; does this recall Chiswick which is after all
about to be restored? The Bath poem is still as it was at
Bath because I have just nothave time to do more than revise
one or two bits and pieces. Then it is done you shall have
the first copy. I love you and must write many more poems.

About the library tickets: do you think you could renew
them yourself by post, telling them that you divide your time
between town and country? Otherwise they may simply tell you
to join the Pett Public Library. Sorry to put you to this
trouble but it would be of considerable help to this author.
Where can I get opinions if I can't read library books after all?

I love you. I shall write you a note at the end of the day's
work this evening. It is 9.30 now and I must get down to H.
I love you.

Lawrence
