[27 February 1953] Dearest Sylvia At at last I have a chance to write to you - sitting in the train at South-ampton on my way back to town. I hope that your journey back to Pelt on Wednesday was comfortable and , above all, that Tiny and Clifford made you feel welcome when you arrived. They are such an unstable pair - really wierd in some ways - but they do love you very much in their eccentric wilful manner. I certainly hope that they are not upsetting at the moment. I am afraid several things have happened at once - your exhibition getting close, your exhaustion after painting so much , the Wood's woods, mine, the feeling you should leave Pelt, seeing your family again, My suggesting a leave at Cambridge - it is really a formidable collection of disturbing problems. I told Palmer, curater of Southampton, about your exhibition and he said - " do send me a card". He has the gentler still-life from the Oil Salon there "on spec". at the moment - your remember it, huge, a little soggy. My lecture went very nicely, I think. 100 or so people, quite a lively discussion. This morning I saw some of the gallery's permanent col. - a Wrighted Derby, Pasmore, Turcot Tapestry. Tur-ner, $c. It is a nice group of high standard. Some pictures are on loan there from Angus Wilson and somebody with a name like "Ode Cross": they are parted from their pictures because they are in Jamaca, at present, so I fear Wilson will not be able to come to your show, probably. I have no real idea of what Southampton is like for I arrived at night, spent the morning in the art gallery, and left at 12.30. There is a vague sense of primly cleared bomb sites, new building of a suburban modernized character, as king-size civic centre of the 30s, and, at night, sirens and boaters. Oh and at lest 5 cinemas.

At last I have a chance to write to you - sitting in the train at South-ampton on my way back to town. I hope that your journey back to Pett on Wednesday was comfortable and, above all, that Tiny and Clifford made you feel welcome when you arrived. They are such an unstable pair - really weird in some ways - but they do love you very much in their eccentric wilful manner. I certainly hope that they are not upsetting at the moment. I am afraid several things have happened at once - your exhibition getting close, your exhaustion after painting so much, the Woods' woods, mine, the feeling you should leave Pett, seeing your family again, M suggesting a house at Cambridge - it is really a formidable collection of disturbing problems.
I told Palmer, curator of Southampton, about your exhibition and he said - 'do send me a card'. He has the Gertler still-life from the Oil Salon there 'on spec'. at the moment - you remember it, huge, a little soggy. My lecture went very nicely, I think: 100 or so people, quite a lively discussion. This morning I saw some of the gallery's permanent col. - a Wright of Derby, Pasmore, Lurcat tapestry, Tur-nor &c. It is a nice group of high standard. Some pictures are on loan there from Angus Wilson and somebody with a name like 'Odo Cross': they are parted from their pictures because they are in Jamaca, at present, so I fear Wilson will not be able to come to your show, probably.
I have no real idea of what Southampton is like for I arrived at night, spent the morning in the art gallery, and left at 12/30. There is a vague sense of primly cleared bomb sites, new building of a suburban modernistic character, a king-size civic centre of the 30s, and, at night, sirens and hooters. Oh and at least 5 cinemas.
