I went too the opening of that enormous exebition for Russia in portman sqare wich is rather awful, and saw many familiar faces including moudie, allan Waltan, algy newton and two old ladies of ninety, who said to one another ,what I REALLY like is pure spontanious enjoyment ! I have finished my piture of those birds and men, I might bring it down to show you. Jonnie Craxton and I are thinking of opening a new Russian barbers shop where you can get a timoshenko haricut sitting in one of timo s saddles with cotton wool from turkistan in your ears, chewing some licorice roots from siberia. I bought some lovely postcards from victorian times where you pull leaversand people start doing acrobatics or change their clothes dis robe and change into witches flowers start sprowting babies and couples start having champangne dinners behind the hedge. I dont quite Know where I shall stay, it really depends what sort of mood they are in I might stay at the pub and if neccesary I could always stay in that rather nice haystack at the farm next door". - Felicity Hellaby, his one-time girlfriend and fellow art student, who is also the subject of some of his earliest known paintings.
