Summary
Asking if Erica [Brausen] has sold his Dali; referring to the war "I cant stand being forced into shelters or suddenly falling flat with my glass gadget round my neck;" commenting on the work of Seddon and hoping he "might give him a small first show...I regard him rather as my protegé as he was a pupil of mine at RCA before the war;" adding that he will "try to make a few landscapes;" discussing some works he might wish to take on in the gallery; asking if the drawings came back from Ala.
