So many thanks for letter and cheque. The great beauty of this leaf from Kew makes me wonder if I have ever accomplished anything of beauty. But it also makes me want to try harder to do so.
It astonishes me how many artists seem to think that the National Gallery paid too much for the great Cėzanne they do not seem to see that these great things are the countrys assets, that the monies can really buy them. As for me I am so delighted & cannot wait to see it again.
Happy Xmas resting in the Sun it sounds wonderful. And may the new year bring the success you need.
with love   Adge
