“I want now to paint things and drive things – and kiss things!”

June 5, 1883

I shall be with you be with you tomorrow — your dear birthday.  How I am looking forward to Thursday evening!  —  I don’t care whether there is starlight or a fog —  Yes dear, I will bring the last sketch and give it its last touches if you think I had better spend any more time on it —  I am tired of writing things —  I want now to paint things and drive things — and kiss things!  —  and yet I have been thinking all day what a lovely sketch it would be

to tell the story of the day we went to Morwenstow  —  with bits of Lorna Doone & the Vicar intertwined with the narrative! …

 good night, and God bless you dear love.  Yours, always Pin
