How did your lecture go? I thought of you as I chatted on about
Turner. Details & brush strokes reminded me of china marks: a
man's bald head looked like a pot. My thoughts turned constantly to you
I'm afraid that it must have been a tiring day for you with lunch
beforehand & the long journey. I do hope you slept well after it.
Nothing is more difficult than WI lectures. I have not given
a satisfactory one yet I must admit. They are proverbially
'sticky' as audiences go.
The ICA evening was as dull to be in as it is to witness.
Herbert Read was in the audience & told me confidentially
afterwards that mine was the only serious contribution. He
also said he agreed with what I said about BH's recent
work tho' he had not written so in his book for diplomatic -
social reasons. I was awfully pleased by this as you can
imagine. i based myself on BH's statements about her
own work. Nobody else did. I seem to have born a
major part in the discussion as I alone supported BH with
some warmth. It kept coming back to me. ( Nice food, wine,
and drinks supplied by the ICA.)
Anthony Hill was there. Also I met William Scott.
I am on my way to the V & A for Banstead slides. 2 lec-
tures tomorrow + tea with Parmore. I lecture each on
Friday & Saturday.
I love you so much. It is nearing Saturday-
adore you
