Promising to send a book containing specimens of her woodcuts, observing that her work is "utterly outdistanced by my cousin Mrs, Raverat", and that she "didn't know that anyone knew that I had taught her" and that she is "surprised to hear that Herbert Furst knew it", recounting her introduction to the art of woodcut by Laurence Binyon of the British Museum and her own experience with the technique, and mentioning the creation of the Queen Maeve design for the Abbey Theatre; responding to Balston on the subject of woodcutting, "I'm not quite sure of your meaning - surely Lucien Pissarro made drawings (as we did) straight on the wood - cut them themselves - so that the work was theirs from 1st to last.", mentioning William Strang as a wood engraver, writing that there was little demand for wood engraving so she gave it up, stating that she has never met Noel Rooke but that she knows and admires his work, asking if she and Balston have ever met, and mentioning the work of (William) Blake and (Thomas) Bewick.
