Dear Mr de Laszlo,

I sent you a message this morning, on the telephone, & this is to repeat it.

I wrote a little while ago to ask if you would take part in a Conference on October 16th on the “Relations of Franciscan Idealism to Art & Learning”. (It  is the 7th Centenary of St. Francis this year & we are organizing a celebration at the Guildhouse.)^[1]

Will you? Please do! Many people have a vague idea that Voluntary Poverty is a beautiful ideal, without considering the

difficulties it raises in connection with Art! Will you help us? We should be very grateful.^[2]

Forgive my troubling you.

Yours sincerely,

A.Maude Royden.

I shall be at

Lavender Cottage

Middleton

Nr. Bognor

all this week.
