Dearest Sylvia
In your last letter I was charmed by your description /
of being 'very busy'. In the morning you had painted /
Tiny - in the afternoon you 'sat'. It conveys a feel- /
ing of domestic and artistic calm to me - certainly in /
contrast to my day yesterday.
I got very wet several times. After the W.I. lec- /
ture which was successful despite some bad organizing /
of the epidiascope so we could only see half a picture /
at a time I went to Sutton. First I tried the library: /
it was cold. So I went to the pictures and saw the /
end of a western in which three people were shot: I /
know who did the killings but not why. Then I saw /
half of another film in which three people were stabbed, /
and here I can guess the motive but do not know who. /
The evening lecture was good, I believe: neo-impres- /
sionism, symbolism, and, finally, Cezanne. Despite /
the dreadful weather everybody was there - more than on /
the first night. /
I am delighted to hear of the jug - and long to see /
it, and the cups. I hope they will not complicate the /
problem of packing unduly. 'Antiques' unfortunately /
cannot get any more of that nice French material to cov- /
er in the fireplace: I wish I had better news of that /
to answer your exciting acquisitions. /
I have re-read Laforgue's psycho-analytical study of /
Baudelaire (for Hogarth) and I am writing a poem about /
Cythera, entitled Versions of Cythera, including B's /
horrifying version of the island, though not of course confining myself to it.

Note: Words underscored for emphasis.
