Letter from Jack Butler Yeats, Portobello house, Portobello bridge, Dublin, to Eleanor de Bretteville Reid.
Description
Yeats thanks Reid for gifts sent to him and for a ship sent to his nurse’s son which has not arrived yet. He is glad she liked The bosun and the bob tailed comet but never understood how children ‘faced to them’. Explains that the metal man on Lily Yeats’s bookplate is a navigation guide in the mouth of the Sligo river. Asks that Frederick W. Reid send him a copy of [his poem] ‘Stardreams and pigments’ for a friend.
