Blackheath [17-10-51]
Wednesday
Dearest Sylvia
Splendid news about the Cricket Field! How delightful of Mr Pengelly of New Malden to buy your picture. Oh, darling, I am so pleased, you have no idea. Oh, but, of course, you do know how glad I am. Yes. Do have it photographed so your lion may see it in black-and-white, at least.
Oh but there is bad news about Ajax & The Poet for I did not receive your letter of 12th October until last night because I went straight from Liver-pool Street Station on Sunday to Wimbledon where I stayed until Tuesday afternoon. Therefore it is too late to submit it. Forgive me. I had intended to return here but when I heard father was in hospital already I went straight down there.
You ask about Parsons. I have just received a letter from him (I wrote last week): I quote from it: 'For some time now, I have been unsettled & depressed by this & that. I have not completed the work I promised to do, nor am I able to attempt to do so at the moment'. He then apologises & hopes that I 'will be patient'. Obviously you needn't have bothered to be so nice to him at the party!
If janine gets in touch with me I am not certain I ought to put her in touch with the people I know, for some of them, most of them, know you as you appear with me - while J. knows you at Pett & connects you with Clifford and so on. As she's a neurotic girl I wonder whether you think she is a reliable link between your 2 worlds? I will be guided by you (though I don't think Paul would like her much because she's one of those people you have to be rugged towards - unless I misjudge her. Rather like Paul's Sylvia.).
My cold is (for the second time) much better. i have an N.G. lecture at 2.00 & then Banstead. I am going to stay at Wimbledon the night & return here tomorrow afternoon. (Magda may be able to get me into some films FREE OF CHARGE!)
I am reading lots of new American poetry at the moment and (I think) recovering from my dose of Ezra Pound: I admire him no less but think I am not the one to imitate him.
I love you - I miss you - I love you
Lawrence
PS. Subject at Banstead tonight is C16th cameos, maiolica, limoge enamel, jewelry, crowns, monuments, - quite a lot of the slides in color. I wish you were there.
Love, Lawrence

Splendid news about the Cricket Field! How delightful of Mr Pengelly of
New Malden to buy your picture. Oh, darling, I am so pleased, you have no
idea. Oh, but, of course, you do know how glad I am. Yes, do have it
photographed, so your lion may see it in black-and-white, at least.

Oh but there is bad news about Max & The Poet for I did not receive your
letter of 12th October until last night because I went straight from Liver-
pool Street Station on Sunday to Wimbledon, where I stayed until Tuesday
afternoon. Therefore it is too late to submit it. Forgive me. I had in-
tended a return here but when I heard father was in hospital already, I went
straight down there.

You ask about Parrons. I have just received a letter from him (I wrote
last week): I quote from it. 'For some time now, I have been unsettled &
depressed by this & that. I have not completed the work I promised to do, nor am I
able to attempt to do so at the moment.' He then apoligizes & hopes that I 'will
be patient'. Obviously you needn't have bothered to be so nice to him at
the party!.

If Janine gets in touch with me I am not certain I ought to put her in
touch until the people I know, for some of them, most of them, know you as
you appear with me - while T. knows you at Pett & connects you with
Clifford, and so on. As she's a neurotic girl I wonder whether you think
she is a reliable link between your 2 worlds? I will be guided by
you (though I don't think Paul would like her much because she's on of
those people you have to be rugged towards - unless I misjudge her.
like Paul's Sylvia).

My cold is (for the second time) much better. I have an N.G. lecture
at 2:00 & then Banstead. I am going to stay at Wimbledon the night &
return here tomorrow afternoon. Magda has sent a letter inviting
me to Banstead on Sunday: John will be there &, I believe, Myra & her
husband. I shall accept, I think. (Myra may be able to get me into some
films FREE OF CHARGE!)

I am reading lots of new American poetry at the moment and (I
think) recovering from my dose of Ezra Pound: I admire him no less
but think I am not the one to imitate him.

I love you - I miss you - I love you
Lawrence

P.S. Subject at Banstead tonight is - (16th cameos, , limoges, enamel, jewels, crowns,
monuments, - quite & slides in color. I wish you were there. Love Lawrence
