Letter from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore
Mailed Mid-November, 1938
Dearest,
I was very upset to hear that you are again ill. I certainly hope that you will take better care of yourself after this, but please don't try and get up before you should. I do hope you can make it to our party but if you can't I will see you soon any way.
Well, I have been working hard and I think have really been doing some good work. Finished up a tempera painting and am working on another also have done several large water colors which everyone here thinks are the best I have done. I thought the Boston papers were very good to me, in fact, much better than New York. If the writers in the future are as good to me as they were I will be lucky. Boston you know is a hard place to break in to. I sold four large water colors. The trouble was is that most of my best pictures were sold before the show opened. In fact, quite a number of people want me to make copies of the water colors they liked which were sold, the damn fools.
Well, my show opens tomorrow in Philadelphia. I am enclosing some clippings out of today's papers.
Just wait old dear, I'll show the world what painting is.
I am planning to go South after Thanksgiving for a couple weeks and I do want to see you before this. So please try and come down as I do want to see you. Will write soon, in fact, in a couple of days.
Much love to you my sweet,
Andy
