Summary
Thanking her for writing, especially when she has been ill; hoping she will be well enough to come to luncheon on Wednesday; mentioning that twice yearly for the past forty-one years Augustus John has declared his intention of drawing Sitwell, noting that this is starting to pall and complaining that she is being pestered by one of Sachie's acquaintances named Rainbird who is putting together a book on John's pictures.
