Dearest Sylvia,
Is is half-past ten. I wonder if you are with the Woods - or if you are
in bed - or reading. I imagine you in these different situations and
wish you were here, with me. Had you been here today I would have
read you passages from Holman Hunt's long book about the P.R.B.
As it is I shall tell you a few of the things I have learned: Hunt's
strayed sheep was painted on the cliffs of Fairlight in 1852. He stayed
at Cliveden Farm with Lear - Lear being there as his pupil because
he wanted to work up his many drawings into paintings. When the 2
men arranged to hire the farm Lear stipulated that they divide the house
(as you do with the Woods): later he admitted that he feared Hunt might
be a lover of bull-dogs, hence the precaution of living separately.
Millais visited them & together they used to walk along the beach to
Wireclelsea
- where Lear stayed subsequently. (This amplifies my ear-
lier remark about Lear at Fairlight which was inaccurate.)
Hunt's book is really very good - somewhat solemn but dignified &
ardent in his account of his art and ideas. I rather admire the man
and, very much, some of his drawings.
Although the curtains are now drawn, all four plants, I am glad to
report, are in bloom. I meant to tell you before and now that they
are not visible I have remembered. I think you will be here in time
to see the flowers.
My parents have given me a silver salt cellar for Charles Johnson &
Madge ------- or (whatever her name is). Here is a sketch of it.
I think that it is suitable - sufficiently impressive to show attentiveness
on my part, but, yet, perhaps just within my means. Just the thing for a grate-
ful pupil to offer on this ...dent
occasion. I do hope that it works for
both of them
I am going to have a bath - then bed. Goodnight - my love.

Dearest Sylvia,
It is half-past ten. I wonder if you are with the Woods -- or if you are
in bed -- or reading. I imagine you in these different situations and
wish you were here, with me. Had you been here today I would have
read you passages from Holman Hunt's long book about the PRB.
As it is I shall tell you a few of the things I have learned: Hunt's Strange Sleep was painted on the cliffs of Fairlight in 1852. He stayed
at Clinedon Farm with Lear -- Lear being there as his pupil because he wanted to work up his many drawings into paintings. When the 2
men arranged to hire the farm Lear stipulated that they divide the house
(as you do with the Woods): later he admitted that he feared Hunt mihgt
be a lover of bull-dogs, hence the precaution of living separately.
Millais visited them and together they used to walk along the brook and
Wineleless -- where Lear stayed subsequently. (This simplifies me ear-
lier remark about Lear at Fairlight which was inaccurate.)
Hunt's book is really very good -- somewhat solemn but dignified and ardent in his account of his art and ideas. I rather admire the man
and, very much, some of his drawings.
Although the curtains are now drawn, all four plants, I am glad to
report, one in bloom. I meant to tell you before and now that they
are not visible I have remembered. I think yu will be here in time
to see the flowers.
My parents have given me a silver salt cellar for Charles Talman and
Madge -- (whatever her name is). Here is a sketch of it.
I think that is suitable -- sufficiently impressive to show attentiveness
on my part, but yet, perhaps just within my means. Just do thing for a grade
? ? to offer on this ardent occasion. I do hope that it works for
both of them.
I am going to have a bath -- then bd. Goodnight -- my love.
