Summary
Thanking him for a "flattering article" on his book Since Cézanne which appeared in the Art Review; attacking Ezra Pound ("Am I wrong in thinking that Pound is an impressive humbug? - I don't know him, have only met him once that's to say - and why he impresses I can't imagine, his writings are feeble enough trash."; and praising the work of Duncan Grant.
