My Dear Tuer
Here is the last of the Gutter snipe drawings and sorry I am to
leave them! Children of the gutter roam about free and are often
hungry, but what would one give for such appetites? You and I smoke
big cigars while they--all too soon, poor little chaps--smoke what
you and I and others throw away. Sometimes I wonder whether they
don't lead the happier lives?
Yours always
Phil May
