June 2I, 1944 Thats all news since I left Bolton will be back tomorrow night Dear Cookie - The portrait painter I told you about has line up Monty Wooley so Bob Barron tells me. They want me over to supper, Bob Barron, but Ive given excuses. Bob Davidson seems in a bad way, nerves, but he has six months leave and is to go to Colorado Springs for that period. He was around today but I missed him. I dont known what he will do there - but Im sure not teach. Love 2 U D.S. June 22, I944 Hope your painting is in fine fettle Dear Cookie - Ive been in Saratoga 2 to 4 days a week - I had only a profile drawing to work from and as the others it was sufficient - and I preferred it that way - but the slowness of mass removal f [[strikethrough]] o [[/striketrhough]] ixed me up somehow and now Ill have to reconceive and approach from different concept. Its OK [[strikethrough]] xxx [[/strikethrough]] it takes time to move from Locomotives to aesthetics Ill go fast when I get my stride but it is upsetting when it doesnt pan.
