Letters, 1917-ca. 1957.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79598279

The 12 letters of Augustus Edwin John were written in two different periods of his life. Four are on letterhead with his Chelsea address, where he lived from 1914 to 1927. The others are on the letterhead of his Fryern Court, Fordingbridge residence, where he lived from 1927 to his death. John sends the publisher Unwin the requested photograph (1917 June 14). He writes to William Rothenstein that he likes the price a collector offered for a portrait, but he believes that "Cockerell should have it for his museum" [Liverpool National Gallery; ca. 1918]. A short note to a friend (Foster?) schedules a meeting at the club (ca. 1917-1920). The artist informs a captain Sunderland that he may publish photographs of his Canadian studies, which are with Chenil & Co. in Chelsea (ca. 1920-1924)
