  LETTER FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORELetter from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Sunday, August 21, 1938; mailed Monday August 22, 1938 My Dearest, I am very glad to tell you that Mr. Macbeth was very pleased with my work, in fact, he bought eight water colors outright which I hear is quite good, but what please me most is that he seems really surprised at what I had done this summer. I certainly am glad that's over now and that I can get back to my work. Now the next big thing for me is seeing you again so please don't disappoint me by not coming up. Well, Ann had an eight pound boy last Thursday morning and both of them are perfect. My father and mother are going home to see them in a couple of days, so Carolyn and little Peter and myself and also the cook, Alice will be here alone so you had better come up over Labor Day and keep me company. In fact, I need you very much as I have been under the weather for the past few days with the same bug that my father had. But I think I am better today, but even if I'm not better I am going to paint tomorrow or I will go crazy. I do miss you so much these days and long for you to be near me. I have been wondering what you have been doing these past few weeks. Finished "Wuthering Heights" this morning and got a kick out of every page. She certainly did load drama into that story, but there is something much deeper in it than that. There is a soul in it which makes it live in your mind. This is a book I will always remember. Excuse this short note my sweet as I must get to bed and get some sleep. I am thinking of you. Much love, Andy Condition:

  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:
