Dear Elizabeth McCausland:

Your articles on my work have been by far the most sensitive criticisms that have been written, and my appreciation has been so much more than could be easily expressed before that I have been hoping for it to take more especial form.

You for instance have always picked the ones furthest on in the step by step search for ideas upon which I have tried to build the work. And those things, though perhaps the least evident to most seem to me to have the most feeling, and I am glad you have felt it and said so.

Your thought of me in connection with the museum is fine, and I am quite as delighted to have one on your wall.

It is easier to write to you about you than it is to write to you about me.

For the first twelve years I was an only child and naturally spoiled in the way my family wished me to be. At the age of twelve I became a brother, and therefore gained twice as much freedom.
