Summary
Asking if he can find a picture of the face of a spider under a magnifying glass for an illustration of a spider in Sylvie and Bruno; noting that he is "willing to welcome a total change" in the illustrations if Furniss feels hampered by his suggestions; asking if he can "find a really pretty boy of 5 or 6 to make studies of his face."
