Sunday Blackheath

Dearest Sylvia,

Alas, my return to Blackheath, though it brought a delight-ful letter from you, did not provide sufficient cheques for you come here, yet. Gainsborough has paid me four guineas for my article but that is not enough to make it worth your journeying here. I will let you know immediately, immediately, when you can come. How I long for it to be soon.

I am enchanted by your drawing of Wassily at work: if only I had had it sooner it would have been lovely to introduce my Artist at Work lecture. I admire very much the vigour of her pose and her captivating smock. It is a lovely sketch which makes Dandy very happy and full of smiles. (How well you draw cats.)

Thursday I went to Norwich: I saw the cathedral in great detail (it has a marvellous array of bosses, many of them fresh-ly cleaned and painted in the largest cloisters in England so nice and low), including the Retable of the Passion by an Eng-lish artist, some of which is reproduced in Gothic England. The museum itself interested me very much also, especially the lavish selection of Cotman and the dozen or so Cromes. I have little books about cathedral and pictures to show you when, in the near future, we are able to be together again.

Friday, as you know I had a lecture and, in the evening, the Anglo-Dutch party at Wimbledon, which I mildly enjoyed at first, but as it dragged on I became very tired (after my tour) and so became like a Bronzino personage from one O'clock on.

Saturday I had two lectures which were I think successful and in the evening Charles took me to dinner and the cinema. (By the way, I saw some Constables in the N.G. basement, back from the Bienalle, including the Waterloo Bridge one which is glorious.) We saw Le Beute du Diable, which is, on the whole, a tiresome, though pretty, version of Faust, by Rene Clair. Decorative but feeble, and full of loose ends as no fable should be.

Today I am happy to stay in my flat, except for posting this letter, with nothing pressing to do, except rest. And think of you. I expect you will have finished your painting now and I am interested to hear of your perfecting of Tiny's portrait. It must be splendid indeed now. And the savage's arm? I am sure that will soon, if it does not already, please you. I have several of your pictures out, round the room, to soothe and delight me af-ter being separated from your art for nearly a week, an age. I mean as well as the ones on the walls.
