Dear Jack-
Before I get started on my own stuff and forget everything else I want to tell you I think the little sketches you left around here are magnificent. Your color is rich and beautiful. you're the stuff old kid - all you have to do is keep it up. You ought to give some time to drawing - but I do not somehow or other feel the lack of [[strikethrough]] [[??]] [[/strikethrough]] drawing in the stuff left here. It seems to go without it. Rita has framed your little lithograph and it carries well. See you around the tenth with the others-
Tom.
