Dearest Sylvia
I am sorry you seem to write in a vacuum: I will try to fill it with
news and answers as well as with declarations of love.

I will write to times? this evening about Lautrec. (Incidentally the ad-
dress I gave you is 'near Cambridge' - so that can be added after
the name of the village)

Mary Chamat? wants me to lecture again at the T.G. in November. And
the interniers? for the parts there will not take place until later in October
or early November. So I still have no news one way or the other. I am
writing for details of a job at Varmich? Art Gallery & Museum; it was
advertised in Arts News & Review. By the way, Gainsborough has asked for
suggestions for more articles on the [unclear..engi..]-Borsch pattern. Have you ideas for your lion? For you ideas are always stimulating & fruitful.

The train is very late and slow. It took an hour and 10 minutes to get
to Chelmsford whereas on Friday I travelled to Chelmsford in 40 minutes.
(see P.S.)

The party on Staurday night stated very nicely but ended abruptly half
an hour after the last train had gone. This made me extremely cross
indeed. Madeline, Mary, Paul, & I went together. I stayed the night with
Paul which was very uncomfortable. As a result I spent quite a lot
of Sunday fast asleep. However I am recovered * vigorous today.

(Forgive my writing - more poor that ever - but blame - as is fashionable
at the moment - British Railways.)

( am happy that you are happier & more confident. There is a dear cat - I
am pleased to hear it. Oh how I long to see you - I love you so much.

My father is having an operation soon. He will be in hospital for
10 days to 2 weeks. Piles is his complaint. He can expect an uncomfort-
able but not dangerous time, I gather.

The sun is out * fine and warm up here (near Colchester) perhaps it
is nice at Pett. I do hope so.

I love, love love you
Lawrence

P.S.
I had 400 teachers in the audience at Chelmsford. There was some trouble with the lan-
tern & they laughed at the confusion of modern slides: they were too ready to laugh at any-
thing modern. So when Klee's came on the screen & they were solemn and quiet - I taunted them until they laughed - telling them this was humourous. I was cross with them & so I took
no nonsense from the 400- L

Dearest Sylvia,
I am sorry you seem to write in a vacuum: I will try to fill it with news and answers as well as with declarations of love.
I will write two lines this evening about Lautrec. (Incidentally the address I gave you is 'near Cambridge' - so that can be added after the name of the village.)
Mary Chawat wants me to lecture again at the T.G. in November. And as interviews for the posts there will not take place until later in October or early November. So I still have no news one way or the other. I am waiting for details of a job at Warwick Art Gallery & Museum. It was advertised in Art News & Review. By the way, Gainsborough has asked for suggestions for more articles on the Bronzino-Bosch pattern. Have you ideas for your lion? For your ideas are always stimulating & fruitful.

The train is very late and slow. It took an hour and 10 minutes to get to Chelmsford whereas on Friday I travelled to Chelmsford in 40 minutes. (see P.S.)

The party on Saturday night started very nicely but ended abruptly half-an-hour after the last train had gone. This made me extremely cross indeed. Madeleine, Mary, Paul, & I went together. I stayed the night with Paul which was very uncomfortable. As a result I spent quite a lot of Sunday fast asleep. However I am recovered & vigorous today.

ps. I had 400 teachers in the audience at Chelmsford. There was some trouble with the lantern & they laughed at the confusion of modern slides: they were too ready to laugh at anything modern. So when Klee's Twittering Machine came on the screen & they were solemn & quiet I counted them until they laughed - telling them this was humorous. I was cross with them so I took no nonsense from the 400-headed bearded monster. L.
