Cotmania. Vol. VI. 1930-31

Sept 20. 1930. Met Leney at Miss Littlewood's at
Erpingham. Saw his pictures again; the Jungfrau & the
'On the Greta' - quite outstanding, the rest nothing.
Sept 24. 1930. Went again to Miss Littlewood's with N.D.L.
Went to Castle Museum, lunched Leney, & then he, I &

for 3 hours. He has a w.c of the Castle of Alençon,
like my sepia, dated 1823. ***'The Belfry' is 1831.
