Description
Indicates that he had been having a ‘weary time’ which has now ended: - ‘New York is a wonderful place. You don’t progress by ordinary walking but in a series of somersaults’. Writes that he would love for Jack and Mary Cottenham to spend a few months in New York from which he asserts the next art movement will emanate. Writes at length about the Northern Irish artist Sloan whom he is certain will be a central part, if not leader, of the next art movement. He envisages a strong friendship between Sloan and Jack.
