The dead tree gathers it to itself & fairly glows. No one could have executed that picture who did not have a goodly share of the sunlight within his own spirit.             I enclosed Jack’s check & will you mail the cut to him? https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/7df9e28a9015bdd1fd99ff2784c3973e.jpg 0733f9282b718d6c0a5e58620cdcf152 PDF Text Text Do you think it will take better a black wood or one in the natural wood?             We sat down at an impromptu supper wine and ? here Sunday night & I wished you were here as we had some interesting strangers. Stera was with us & told me of an incident that enraged her. A woman caller her up & said she’d love to have one of  your woodcuts. How much were they? Oh she could not pay that. She thought if she might get one for $1.50! That’s the way people feel about art. They feel the same way about poetry.             I took a group up to your exhibit the final Sunday & they were deeply impressed & very enthusiastic. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/a0b7233b5c070d763c5fe02581ab72d4.jpg 801948c4f49d0b39bdb131c2b93fc2ef PDF Text Text             No doubt you are planning to “connect up” with Mr Frost while he’s in the south. I am sorry I can’t go over to the Phi Beta Kappa meeting & hear him, but I have too much to do at home just now. Himself & I are getting the “kernel” --the old guest house—ready for our younger daughter who plans to come with her two youngsters for the duration while her husband roams the seas in his submarine. I shall be glad to have the poor child near me in her anxiety. She worships her man, so the strain is severe.             I hope your Lankes –Frost greeting card has come along successfully & fast. It’s horrid to be rushed when doing creative work & I’m not surprised that you are were worried. https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/de131d967fe7d347f15bcd097c9589ca.jpg b848b304bfe9cea7c1c22a865ee47280 PDF Text Text We’ve had a steady stream of guests since you were here, but now I shall write my soul for a while in the autumn woods. These heavy mists fascinate me.             It did me good to see David Worton again. I believe you don’t know him. You two would understand one another. When he read the other night he created for the whole audience an atmosphere of the most delicate nupticism & even he insensitive were enthralled. I don’t think he & Mr Frost like each other very much, but they have lived in the same small town!
