Letter and envelope from Jack Butler Yeats, 18 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin to J.C. Miles, 28 Lansdowne Road, Bedford, England.
Description
Yeats writes that he is glad to know that Miles is ‘in some comfort and peace.’ He tells Miles of his sister Lily Yeats’s embroidery of a design after a Burne-Jones drawing of a ship. He comments on the successes enjoyed by Dublin theatres at this time and relates an anecdote from the film censor. His brother’s widow [George Yeats] continues as a director of the Cuala Press, as does Miss Colum, sister of Padraic Colum. He gives news of his niece Anne Yeats and nephew Michael Yeats. His recent one man exhibition was a success and Yeats describes in detail his painting In Memory of Boucicault and Bianconi (1937) (NGI 4206). Includes a small sketch of a Bianconi coach.
