Then, it is to thank you for having found for me a corner of your enchanted Cotswold country. Lastly, and, perhaps, chiefly, it is in admiration for a generosity to your fellow-painters that is as heartening as it seems, unhappily, to be rare. I do not know whether my own experience of literary life has been uncommonly fortunate :fortunate it certainly has been. The chivalry that I have found in writers of an older generation than myself has only been a less intimate delight than the fellowship of my immediate contemporaries. With many of the Georgian poets, my collaborators in New Numbers and others, I have formed close friendships, and 1know of nothing more splendid than the way in which these men, with various and often violently opposing views about their art, realise that they all are working for a common end, and are enthusiastic one for anothers success allowing always, of course, a resentment of dishonest work. A mong painters of my own generation, and I am told that it is not a new phenomenon, I have not observed the same good-will. I have observed, rather, a disposition to intolerance, sometimes to jealousy. What the reason may be I do not know.
