Autograph Letter Signed 'John (N)'
to Mrs Winifred Arnold of Little Baddow, near Chelmsford, saying I feel I must add my thanks to his wife's letter for your very kind and rich gifts... It is a mystery how you got to know... at first [Christine] would not tell me the date & of course I had forgotten! We were married in the 1914-18 War & had no celebration & the same happened again for the Silver one in the last War... Unfortunately Christine has been ordered to rest...You, I take it, are heading for a Diamond Jubilee... I often think of the old days at Bigwood and have been in touch with Bill & Honor lately. I hope you still paint. I... have just started work again. There's no entire rest for an artist!..., 2 sides 8vo., Bottengoms Farm, Wormingford, Essex, 29th May

Background
Winifred Arnold attended John's courses at Flatford. In May 1970 he wrote a note for her own catalogue, I remember her pressing me for instruction in perspective and other professional aspects... but I fended off these requests... objects were as she saw them and she made them conform to her vision .
