Blake apologizes for not having seen BR and for not having written before. Blake lists what he has accomplished in the last ten days as being "1) found the nicest studio in New York, 2) re- corrected my father's manuscript, 3) worked madly on Serge's city-planning project, 4) had a job, 5) met again the aged ballet-dancer and decided not to, 6) seen Margot once or twice and decided (probably) yes...." Blake has written "still have" above "had a job".

Blake has drawn a depiction of the exterior of the studio in New York, as well as his bed inside the studio, noting that due to the skylight he can remain "in instant communication with God".
