Summary
Thanking him for advising her to approach the Arts Quarterly about an essay on Pavel Tchelitchew's recent work. Saying she is astounded by the goings-on at the Tate gallery, noting that she does not understand why they would refuse a painting offered to them by Clark. Noting that Madame de Noailles has produced a translation of her "Green Song" but that it is being published with a preface by Harold Acton, which was not shown to Sitwell before it went to press.
