2/23/31 Dear Charles.

 It is a shame they sent the piece in the paper. They do that sort of thing.

I wish that ?ite it there had come some of the things you said in your letter - about how the painter - a real one really feels.

 People are such fools. sh??d ..th who would be fairly? alive in judging another person

let themselves be no fr?ked about art.

 It is due sometimes to a kind of decent? buruwility too. This reason - this artist - they think - having

been told some such thing - lives in a strange rarified atmosphere.

 This gives the little talkers? such a ? chance - they all set themselves up.
 The man who couldn't possibly be ?ald a second rate horse? will fall for any kind of

second rate painting.

 Because he doesn't a p himself to receive? it.
