Art du dédain™

Dear sir,

Some days ago I received a letter from Mr. Jagger asking me to design a picture or to place at his disposal unpublished work to reproduce on the cover-sleeve for an LP record.

My answer to both questions must be no, as I want to devote all my time and attentions to the many commitments made; I cannot possibly accept any further assignments or spend any time on publicity.

By the way, please tell Mr. Jagger that I am not Maurits to him, but :

Very sincerely, M.C. Escher
