Dear Joe,

Thank you so much for sending good wishes to P.  I am sending a copy of your wishes on to him.  I am glad to say that he has been offered a place at the Central, St. Martin’s Art School in London.  It is very prestigious.  He also got an interview at the Ruskin Art School in Oxford.  His cousin finishes up at the Ruskin this year.  The life of a painter is precarious,  it is a hand to mouth life style.  But what can I do…not a plumber in the family!  At least they will get good experience to start life.

With many thanks and I hope we will meet soon again.  Yours C.R
