Summary
Concerning Moony's illustrations; saying "I am immensely taken with these things of Mr. Moony's. The backgrounds are simply chock-full of romance. And that's what I like & what I think we want - background teeming with romance. I should greatly like to see some originals, & will certainly let you know when I am next coming to town - & you must get me all you can;" adding, in a postscript, Do you want a portrait of O. Cromwell as a young man? Artist Walker I think the man said. Head & shoulders. Good pedigree to picture. I saw it at 'The Antiquary', 41 High St - Oxford, when I was getting some papier maché there the other day. Don't trouble to answer this. I only mention it - in case."
