"In answer to your letter of the 8th, I have none of the Peter Pan drawings left nor do I know where any of them are as they were all sold to various private buyers by the Leicester Galleries on the occasion of their exhibition many years ago (1906 I think). I am holding a show in New York at Messrs. Scott & Fowles some time this autumn & at this show there will be 2 or 3 drawings, made for the 2nd edition of Peter Pan. . . . I hadn't . . . [kept] in touch with Peter Pan. So I am doing another. The first drawing will be quite useful for other purposes. . . ."
