Charles

 Katharine wrote me about you and the Van Gogh books. I hope you will keep them a long time.

It is an annoying story.

 I think that in Renoir and Van Gogh you get the two things of which you once wrote me  - the

man going toward God and the man going down into earth and finding God there too. Perhaps I think Renoir the healthies man.

 The terrible thing about most of the God men? is that they seem to identify themselves with God. "I

am myself this thing." Van Gogh escaped all that - A terrible humbleness saved him.

 A thing apparently Van Go - crossed out Renoir never had at all.
 Both sevect? men though.
 I have been working hard. I hope to see you soon.

A fine Christmas to you
