Illustrated letter from John Butler Yeats, 317 West 29th street, New York to Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Description
Opens by saying that he assumes Mary Cottenham and Jack have failed to sell their house. Tells Mary Cottenham he has a ‘slender chance of getting employment as a teacher in art and ‘things in general’ to a colony of art students in…Woodstock…Dundrum is the place of longings but my work seems to be here’. Suggests that Mary Cottenham and Jack should spend the Autumn in New York where they would be very popular and could stay in a boarding house, like the Petitpas, where they would make friends and contacts. ‘Until I came here I was miserably lonely, though keeping up a brave show’. Ink portrait sketch of young man’s head enclosed with letter.
