We shall receive you with pleasure on your way to the south. We had the whole time nice sunshine only the nights are cold. Bravo, the article on Corinth, the two of them seem almost isolated in that issue with such daubings, some in ink, some with paint. It can only end badly, all this about the blessed west and its 'cultural superiority'! Superior to whom? The apes? Surely not, the [illegible] coerced under Herbert Read's suggestive coaching. Love to you, OK
