Content Description

First letter: They have had the builders in. He discusses two Italians that he recommends to Todd [as models?]. It would be a pleasure to sit to him.

Second letter: Kesington is dull without him, he saw Todd's neighbour looking out of the ground floor window, glumly. He hopes Todd will return soon. His wife, Joan, sends her regards, and to say that she was impressed by some of the student's final year show at the Academy.

Included are two drafts by Todd: : 1) He is back in London after his stay in Falmouth, while his sister was in hospital. As soon as he cleans his studio Mrs Kamill would be welcome to see his work. 2) He is moving from St. Thomas's Home and will miss the nurses. He is better for the rest, but impatient to get back to work.
