I have been ‘kept in’ ever since the sunset I spent with you last week. And I thought you were leaving for Asheham sooner. That was why, missing one day, I did not send the drawings the next. ¹ I gave Murry the notices to have printed for me and I thought as they were going to adorn picture galleries it would be a good idea to page 163 have the pictures on 'em. They ought to be ready by to-morrow. He will send you some, together with the blocks. Your notice looks awfully nice.

I hope to go away to-morrow. Curse! I feel damned ill in body these last few days. “My wings are cut and I can-not fly I can-not fly I can-not fly.”

But Virginia dear—how I enjoyed my day with you; it's such a lovely memory. I shall think of you a great deal while I am away—and then I must look out for your Tchehov article.

Well, I was going to end off at the end of this page—but before I do I want to tell you that I re-read The Mark on the Wall yesterday and liked it tre-mendously. So there!

I hope Asheham is lovely.
