Dearest Sylvia

Your dandylion is covered with the dust of ages. On Wednesday he went to St Bartholemew's and read the minutes of committee meetings in the 1730s and 40s. I found one or two new facts and a date: trivial but not hitherto used. Dandylion then had a good wash and went to the N.P.G today to read the vast correspondence of Nichols, the earliest writer on Hogarth. Letters from 1780 to about 1830! Not much there except a great deal of dust and one or two minute items. Sir Henry Hake, however, came to see me as I worked and we had a long talk. He gossiped about Beckett and Burke, both Hogarth scholars, and made a most valuable suggestion about Hogarth's linear theories. Apparently it is a terrific privilege to get into the library there: not even Beckett has seen the letters.

While I was at the NPG I looked at some of the poets and thought that they could easily be mistaken, Donne, Quarles, Sidney, Butler, four courtiers and all sorts of other occupations. And then I thought how lucky I was to love a muse and a painter:

Poets, grave or smiling,
Elegant or slightly stout,
