MARRIAGE AND SUCCESS

‘2 Gordon Place, Campden Hill, W.
March 29, 1905
‘Dear Mr Rackham,

‘I have at last been able to get to your exhibition; which I enjoyed immensely. Hitherto one has had to go to the Continent for so much mingled grace & grotesque as you have given us. The drawings seem to me extraordinarily successful & charming. The only thing I quarrel with is the prevalence of “sold” tickets – one on every picture that I liked best. Barrie tells me he has the same grievance. I am glad to hear that you think of treating Peter Pan in the same vein. Believe me yours sincerely,

E. V. Lucas
