Many thanks mon dear Chien for your good letters -- esspecially the last -- I am glad to see you ruffle your fur a little. I know you can make something fine of your "Wings" if you will only hold yourself to it.

I am writing this in the artelier [[atelier]] after dinner - seated in the big blue chair -- with "Mary" on the modle [[model]] stand at my elbow. She looks great in such a strong light -- her little neck so tense with young life and her eyes filled with the view of a whole lifetime ahead. I am very anxious to put her into marble but --- my stone cutter doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

I went to see him the other day.
