I am told by More Adey in his letter that last summer you really did express on more than one occasion your desire to repay me 39;a little of what I spent’ on you. As I said to him in my answer, unfortunately I spent on you my art, my life, my name. my place in history, and if your family had all the marvellous things in the world at their command, or what the world holds as marvellous, genius, beauty, wealth, high position and the like, and laid them all at my feet, it would not repay me for one tithe of the smallest things that have been taken from me,or one tear of the least tears that I have shed.
