This day I have sent to you by bookpost 1 drawing, “A Root in a dry ground”.1 You just let me know what you think of it. Les Racines2 is very similar to this one but I can’t senda that one neither “Sorrow”3 in this manner on a roller, the drawings being mounted on cardboard. With regard to this one I hammered it off in a single day, having studied the same spot and trees for Les racines. So it has been done “tout d’un trait” out of doors & has not even been in my studio.

But the paper has been slightly damaged in 2 or 3 places as I worked through it, please have this seen to at once, else it might get worse. I think it wants a grey mount.4 Good bye, hope to hear of you at y^r early convenience.
