‘The arrangement we had made together suited me perfectly. I would never have broken it had you not broken it yourself. I had promised to come to your aid whenever you were completely cornered; you did not misuse the money, but you took up so much of my time that I had to break it off… I was no longer allowed to suffer from migraines or be occupied with any work… The drawing you’ve sent me is very interesting. I’m sending you this scrap of paper in return. The verses are even more remarkable than the drawing…’
