Illustrated letter from John B.Yeats, 317 West 29th street, New York to Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Description
Tells Mary Cottenham that she must not wonder why he would write to Vyvyan Stewart, as he knew his parents and held them in high regard. Goes on to discuss the beauty of Stewart’s mother and includes a sketch of her. Mentions that William Butler Yeats will arrive in Ireland the following day and that it was good to see him though William Butler was fatigued by his lecture tour. John B. has sent Jack a catalogue of James McNeill Whistler pictures for which he wrote the introduction and received £10. (Catalogue of an exhibition of oils, watercolours, pastels and drawings by James McNeill Whistler, 1834-1903 at Y1/JY/18/3). Recommends that Jack read Tom Jones and Joseph Andrews by Henry Fielding due to his interest in the 18th century.
