2 ALsS, 7 Porthmeor Studio, St Ives, Cornwall; 15 Feb. 1916, 4pp., 4to; Wharf Studio, St Ives; 11 Dec. 1917. 4pp., 12mo.First: Beginning by thanking SL 'for "The Chorus". I feel a wretch beyond redemption & there are not enough excuses in St. Ives to meet the case - I had to get those two big portraits finished & off to the Nat. Portrait Soc: & a nightmare of a time it was I thought - I would never pull them out of Hell's seventh Ditch and up to Bond St - but there they are it appears'. Second: Wondering how SL 'came through' her 'long journey': 'You left no clue to your whereabouts, but I suppose mere addresses don't signify where celebrities are concerned [...] Some day you will let me paint you by lamp light won't you? [...] The glue pot is "boiling" over & I must go & do a little mangling.'
