[A.L.S.] Laurence Housman to Henry Davray (editor).

Housman, Laurence.

3 pages, folded octavo. Blind-stamped heading. Battersea Park, S.W., Oct. 16th, [1899]. To Henry D. Davray, editor Murcure de France, a Paris literary journal. "My dear Davray, Madame has sent me a little card with her portrait. Will you please give her from me the enclosed letter & sketch, which I promised her so long ago.I have picked out the one which I think she would like best. Assure her that it has some artistic merit-though not much. You have never told me whether you found any thing in 'The Little Land' [published May 1899] to like: half my friends think it shows a great advance & half a great falling off." Housman goes on to apologize for only seeing him for a moment when they met in London and having not made arrangements to get together. "You will laugh over my little French letter to Madame, but as you are in my confidence, you will not be jealous of anything I have tried to say." Very good.
