Gentlemen:

This morning I sent you by express the manuscript of my book on Aesthetics “The Sense of Beauty” about which I had already written to you, and received from you a very kind and welcome reply. I leave on Saturday for Spain, sailing from New York on the Werra. My address during the summer will be care of Brown Shipley & Co, London, but I shall be at Avila, in Spain, during July, and any communication sent to me there will reach me more directly. I shall of course be glad to hear from you as soon as possible. This book has been so long in preparation that I am eager to have the last uncertainties in regard to it over, and to feel that it is, as far as I am concerned, a thing of the past.

Yours very truly,
G Santayana
