dear little Muffy Here's the picture / - do it as big as you like. / I think if the width / of it were to be the size / of the present width of / the frame - that would / big enough - but please / yourself. Only it isn't / worth repeating unless / it is a good bit bigger / Murcott is the best man / to make panels & things / but go to Roberson if / you like. / the picture is better / & worse than I thought / but it will bear / repeating & was a / grand idea of yours / leave out the wall at the back of Chaucer / & I will put a low fence & do what I find / ?, make a long procession of wenches into / the woods at the back then. / this will amuse me & I want amusement. / Chaucer might be improved but I have no / time - I could / do that / when it is / finished / - copy it / just as it is / but do not / make any / of the faces / too strong / - there are / none of them / very good / goodbye. How are you. / Your ffectionate / EBJ NB. The colour of the / poppy is inimitably perfect / of Love, very good. - also / of alcester. the blue at / the back needs to / be more ultra marine. / the grain is good. - / make it much better / as you can
