June 30th. 96. 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
