Letter from John Butler Yeats, 317 West 29th street, New York to Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Description
Refers to a Woodroffe who ‘grows more spiteful as he gets older’. Recommends that Jack read the Letters of Horace Walpole because of his interest in the 18th century. John B. is reading [Thomas Babington] Macaulay. Enquires how the Eadons are doing following their bereavement. Asks if Jack and Cottie are still enjoying ‘The Sun’. Tells her that he sends ‘The World’ to Vyvyan Stewart whom he says is a ‘constantly imploring me to come home’ and whom he describes as a ‘very affectionate and sensitive man’. Closes by asking Mary Cottenham about her own artistic work and asserting that he thoroughly believes in it.
