Dear Leonard

 

Thank you for the proofs - I think they are all right & some very good. do you want them back?

 

I had a letter from Joad today saying that it might be better to substitute some other picture for 'Miss Rowe'. I am almost sure the picture is in London & if so it would not take long to have it photographed if Turner undertook to get permission & have it taken by Newberry. I am rather anxious it should be included as it is one of the very few portraits in the book.

 

If however you Think this will take too long let me know and I will try & Think of something else about that time.
