I tell D I want to do a charcoal head of him & he says "Come around & see me" I tell him Davidsons head is nothing. Young smiles. Young looks very nice all shaved up and dressed in black. He is a fine old chap. Stop at Art News and in the envelop with proof & copy find Townsend has "edited" my Boston Transcript letter on Stuart Washingtons in amazing manner!
