Cecil ALDIN (1870–1935), English animal artist and painter. Autograph letter, Sulhamstead Abbots, March 7, 1914, to his dear Durand; 2 pages, in-4, addressed to him; in English. He regrets to inform Durand that, given the current state of agriculture in England, there is no chance for a man with no experience to earn 5£ a month… especially since work on the farms is difficult at the moment… He did, however, try to help a nephew get a job for £1 before his departure for Canada…
