My dear Burne-Jones Thanks for your kind note. I can only be too pleased and grateful to have anything done to the Laus Veneris drawing [b2i] that your feeling suggests and I quite realise that it may be improved in the way you indicate altho in colour it entirely satisfies me. I think it should make a beautiful picture [b22] and both it and the Chant d'Amour [b3] be altogether about your best works. It is however very bumptious of me to offer either criticism or advice and very meek of you to take it so quietly! Ever with kind regards. Yours Sincerely W. Graham
