Mr. Petit, whom I’m expecting on the 6th of next month, will, I hope, agree with me that it’s not too bad. My son is also working on a painting that I think is absolutely fine”… - To a friend: “Please come by Bingham’s to shake my hand, and then I’d like to show you a painting I just brought from Antibes to Petit”…
