Dear L & M

Surprise I’m writing! The color was right – It’s just what I needed – It arrived on my birthday – Thank you (Did you know?)

Milton rented a cabin in Springs & has sent me on a health cure – I was sick a lot last year. I’m here by myself most of the time & I’m making a lot of smallish crappy paintings.

Otherwise things are very much the same. I am still in the March gallery. I get into all the new talent shows around town, chances are good that I will have a gallery within the next year or so. I sold 3 or 4 small things this year which is a triumph for me but drop in the bucket to anyone else.

What are your plans? Are you going to stay in Rome another year or come back?

Love
Pat
