Letter from Roderic O’Conor to Clive Bell concerning Henri Maguin's villa, and circumstances in Bouches du Rhone

Handwritten letter addressed from Villa Marguerite, Cassis, Bouches du Rhone, in which O'Conor writes that he must now keep Villa Marguerite until 1 January and ‘by that time will be ready to leave I think.’ He comments that Bell will have no trouble subletting Henri Manguin's villa, and advises that the best hotel is the Cendrillon. [Charles Camoin] was ‘well satisfied’ with it. ‘There seems to be very few painters here besides Manguin’. Marguet is passing through. ‘[Robert Delaunay] is the only new talent who seems to promise anything’. O’Conor has been ‘leading a very idle life here but am getting down to work now….I have a few books fortunately and by going to bed very early manage to get through.’
