Autograph letter signed : Oxford, to Rex Nan Kivell, [1945-1946?].

Thanking him for his letter and "its generous offer. I have little doubt that Ronny [Conrad] Senat would jump at the chance of a gift colour plate & I should be delighted. The only hesitation which rises in my mind is whether out of all your collection there isn't a rather more interesting design to be found for a colour plate; but if you are presenting the Cyclamen particularly we need not worry further. I have certain spaces so to speak 'to let' & these occur at intervals - for collotypes, but colour plates can be insinuated in my section to the general advantage & there is still a small margin of time. Wallace Heaton must have gone mad[.] The second picture I have been waiting for & which he should have done weeks ago...And now I have had 5 totally useless prints from them which I never ordered. I am writing to them today. meantime hold on to Cyclamen & if we all agree Chiswick Press will collect from you. I will leave question of size of block & such details to Senat. He is in London at the moment but expected back today I think;" adding, in a postscript, that he still needs "the residue of my wood engravings;" also adding, in a note written in the left margin on the recto, "Heaton has just sent a print of the Cyclamen. It is quite good but not good enough as a 'half-tone' plate."
