Description
Letter from Vanessa Bell, 8 Fitzroy Street, Fitzrovia, London, to Duncan Grant. She discusses her depression and her attempts to work - to make a curtain and a large painting of three female nudes, a sketch of which is included in the letter. The painting will rework a nude currently hanging at her London Artists' Association exhibition in New Bond Street, Mayfair, and will use her models Drury and Brinkworth. She reports a commission to paint Dottie Wellesley's children, a visit from Raymond Mortimer, and a request from the editor of British 'Vogue' to discuss Bell's and Grant's decorations. Also mentions Grace Germany.
