Dear Mr Heinemann -
I live in one continual fright of your type written letters, and have been in bed ever since the first one! You represent to me all the sins of procrastination [p. 2] and ambition, and their responsibility, and everything that is terrible!
Don't you think you might help me out of all this, and please [2 illegible words] [Eden?] at the same time by giving it to Ricketts and Shannon[4] I am sure from that letter he wants them to do it.
Jimmie, it is impossible [p. 3] to get anywhere near now - he is hard at work, but he is very interested in your journey to Spain
Have you been?
We all wish you a happy New Year. Jimmie says you must go to the Grafton Gallery[5] and see his pictures,
With kind regards
Very sincerely
Beatrix Whistler
