1This day I have sent to you by bookpost 1 drawing/A Root in a dry ground_1
2You just let me know what you think of it. Les Racines2 is very similar to this
3one but I can’t senda that one neither “Sorrow”3 in this manner on a roller/
4the drawings being mounted on cardboard. With regard to this one I
5hammered it off in a single day/ having studied the same spot and
6trees for Les racines. So it has been done “tout d’un trait” out of doors
7& has not even been in my studio.
8But the paper has been slightly damaged in 2 or 3 places
9as I worked through it/ please have this seen to at
10once/ else it might get worse. I think it wants a grey
11mount.4 Good bye, hope to hear of you at yr early
12convenience.
