About this Item

4to. 1 p. Love letter to Felicity Hellaby Darling Felicity" in Freud s uneven hand: Thanks for your letter. I do think its terrible that you should be in Norwich specially as its bound to get more boring and maddening for you the longer you stay there. I do wish you could escape and come up here Do lets meet at Hadleigh next weekend or the one after. Let me know if you can and when? Ive just seen a play called ,a month in the country with Michael Redgrave which very good. Ive finished painting your coat so you can have it how ill bring it down when we meet. I bought some red flannel today the man in the shop said that lots of doctors and Medical Men come in to buy it as there is a certain somethiing in the die that does something to the eye, really most mysterious! My Wales trip has been postphoned till March. Weve had a crazy boy staying here who kept on eating the Crescents off […] I am beginning to be able to play some quite eerie notes on the bugle". - Felicity Hellaby, his one-time girlfriend and fellow art student, who is also the subject of some of his earliest known paintings.
