- LETTER FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN,
LETTER FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORELetter from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Sunday, August 14, 1938; mailed Monday, August 15, 1938 Dearest: Your letter gave me one of those thrills that I will not easily forget. For once I almost believe you do care a little for me, I do so much want to believe that some times I feel as if I would like to hold you so tight and tell you that I love you again and again and that I will not let you go, and then I wonder if you do love me enough to want me for life. Oh my sweet, when I think of you being with any one else I feel terrible and when I think of how wonderful it was when your pure body was next to mine and the feeling of you moving against me is one of those things that seems like heaven. You will please excuse this poor attempt at writing as this is something that I can't write about and make sense but I know you know what I mean. I guess the reason is that I feel it too deeply to be able to write it. Before I forget it I must tell you that this man [Siskin?] is hard to get rid of, so I would think twice before I would invite him down to Poughkeepsie. You know the old saying, "you give a Jew a inch and they will take a mile" don't take me wrong now. Just got my water colors back all matted and mounted and I think they look like they ought to do something for me. I have done ten of my best water colors since you left, five of them are large ones; one of the best is of a dory coming through the fog in the early morning. I'm sure you would like it. My father seems very pleased with what I have done. By the way, he is feeling much more like himself again and looks much better. I expect Macbeth here sometime this week so wish me luck. Say, "Wuthering Heights" is one of the most moving and powerful stories I have ever read. Emily Bronte writes the way I would like to paint. The trouble is I find this book hard to put down. The write James Boyd dropped in on us the other day. He is truly a splendid fellow and I think one of the best writers we have of his kind. Do you know his work. I certainly hope the weather is clear tomorrow so that I can get over to the island and finish that picture. Please take care of your self my love and remember I am thinking of you always. Andy Will write soon and write a good one Condition:

- FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOOREFour Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Friday, September 17, 1937; mailed Saturday, September 18, 1937 My Dearest Alice: The rest of the family left last Tuesday so I am now very much alone. I have been thinking a great deal about you and realizing more and more what a splendid girl you are and what little hope I have of ever becoming your husband although I know we belong together, Alice, I know it as well as my right hand and by God, I'm going to do something about it. What I want to know from you is do you love me or is it hopeless? Please tell me the truth. I wish I could make you out. [Illegible sentence, crossed out] One minute you are very warm to me and the next, oh hell I give up - excuse me. Well I heard form N.Y. today and Mr. Macbeth is planning to give me my show the middle of October which is really a very good time. That means I have to leave here before I expected to though which I am sorry about and I think its worth it, don't you? Also I have been asked to have a one man show in Utica New York at the Williams Proctor Institute, which isn't so bad either. We have been having some foggy weather here for the past week so I have been working in the studio most of the time and have enjoyed it very much. It's really very cozy with the fire going. I think I have some good pictures started too. I hope you are well and that you haven't forgotten about me. I love you I love you I adore and want you but what's the use. Andy Saturday, October 2, 1937; mailed Saturday, October 2, 1937 Dearest Darling - Please, please forgive me for not writing since I have been working so hard that I forgot all about time but not about you I never can you are on my mind day and night and how often I have wished you could be here with me. I always thought that I would never need anyone as I need you . Alice, I want you to be near me always. I need you more than you need me I know although as time goes by I think you will change - I hope so anyway. Well, I have been working in Egg Tempera for the last two weeks and by God I like it I have done several landscapes and am now working on a portrait of a fellow who to me expresses Maine of today. Mr. Sidney Chase the artist who lives in Martinsville can't seem to understand why I should want to paint the worst drunk in Martinsville, but as I told him, I am not interested in painting the picturesque Maine of yesterday but want to paint it as it is today and to me this fellow is typical of Maine of today. I really think I am getting a good one. The name of the fellow is Charles Ervine, ask Jim Balano about him. Thursday I went to the Union Fair and had a swell time, went up with several fellows from the port. Mr. Ervine went also and passed out. I will tell about it when I see you. I want to get this in the mail so I had better stop by saying that I love you so much that it worries me. Andy [Accompanied by a black and white page of an exhibition catalouge depicting "Charles Ervine" by Andrew Wyeth] Thursday, October 14, 1937 My Dearest Alice, Just received word from Macbeth Gallery that my show opens October 19th, so I am planning to arrive in Poughkeepsie Friday night. Hoping that you will be there - Much love, Andy P.S. Could you let Bill Balano know. October, 1937, a Monday after the Macbeth show; mailed Tuesday, October 26, 1937. My Dearest Alice, Just a note to let you know that I am planning to call you from New York City Wednesday night about supper time. My show has gone well. I have sold everything and most of the reviews have been good. You have been on my mind night and day and how I do miss you. I had really a swell time with you in Poughkeepsie and I want to thank you my sweet I love I love you and I love you and by God just watch me. Excuse the terrible writing and also the shortness of this. I love you. Andy Condition:
