Blackheath: Saturday evening [8-12-52]
My dearest Sylvia
Wonderful. I expect you on Saturday 13th. Tell me exactly when in the afternoon and I will meet you, my love. That will give us a week together with very few tiresome duties. If you can see your Aunt on the TG on Thursday 18th that would be most convenient.
I hope you were able to get on with your x-mas cards in the other evening. I have three of the TG's best cards for you: two of Tissat and one of Stubbs. These seemed to me the most suitable and they are the most expensive.
I am most interested to hear that you have another still life in mind. I like the sound of The Dressing Table immensely. Let me know your new project when it is sufficiently clear in your mind. I will make notes for your catalogue before you come. I want it to be evocative as well as descriptive. I must not imprison you in one critic's view of you, so I must be allusive as well as introductory, yet without loss of clarity. That, as I see it, is what is required of me.
You are right that this is the weather for still life - not landscape. There has been a bad fog in London since Thursday night. Today it has been practically impenetrable (to sight, I mean). Thick, dirty, greasy, sour, in texture - but pictorially fascinating in its

I hope you were able to get on with your xmas cards

you: two of Tiesot and one of Stubb. These seemed to
me the most suitable and they are the most expensive.
I am most interested to hear that you have nother

immensely. Let me kow your new project when it is
suffiiciently clear in your own mind. I will make

You are right that this is the weather for still life--
