Elisabeth McCousland
Eilshemius

Dear Miss McCousland -

Our mutual friend [[strikethrough]] Beatr [[/strikethrough]] Jeanne Landon just sent me clipping of your write-up.  Was pleased to see the 3 reproductions of my paintings.  Aye, you got me Romanticist.  All genuine art must be romantic like Rousseau, Beethoven, and Lord Byron of old.  Who cares for apples etc. dull rooms and worse cube-stuff?  Always glad for a chat. Au Revoir,

Louis M. Eilshemius

Transcription Notes:
Appears to include "Rousseau," but if so may be spelled incorrectly. Uncertain if this is another artist being referenced. I see Rousseau spelled as Roussin but unsure if this is a true artist.
