Description
Delighted with him not liking whimper analysis and will find it affected imagination more than anything for long time and it was true; has spent many hours and minutes over de Retz paper and rewarded by indignation for all headaches; is delightsome and couldn't have pleased better; is not art sez you - damn art sez I; is fact and Mr Drainie man has felt it in his tum-tum where all true emotion resides; also others for both in America and here The Black Douglas/Deil runs after The Lilac Sunbonnet beating even The Raiders; Vox populi, vox [odoctorum] say you; ah well - time will tell as it runs; in meantime great thing is to do one's best as such days work heaves above skyline to east
