Letters

 

A nice discovery at the end of a week during which I received copies of Letters of Note and To the Letter. I like Lakshmi's observation that the tactile sensation of holding a letter counts too. The sensation of holding the letter helps reinforce the feeling of connection to the sender.

Monet, Again

The news of the sale of the Corcoran Gallery really stunned me with a note that it held a Waterlilies painting that I could not recall ever seeing. A later article clarified that the painting hung in one of Huguette Clark's New York apartments and hadn't been shown publicly in years.
