Handwritten letter from John Butler Yeats to Ruth Hart writing of his work lecturing in Pittburgh and that his letter are to be published by his daughter's 'illustroious' press [Passages from the Letters of John Butler Yeats by John Butler Yeats, edited by Ezra Pound, Cuala Press, 1917]. Yeats writes of Robert Henri's admiration of his work, and of the death of his old friend Lord Justice Hugh Holmes. Yeats wonders how his children would have become if he had continued on his career as a barrister, and that he would have liked his dighters to be married.
