NW1
11 May 1961
Dear Pepi,
After much delay – arch schlemiel that I am – I have painted my studio from top to bottom, and the longer I messed around, the more things needed to be repaired, modified and painted. Now it’s more or less finished, and so am I – a veritable bag of nerves.
Naturally I’ve not made any progress with my writing, but earlier today Joyce read me some notes she made last week. I talked her into typing them up. She did so, and I’m enclosing them with this letter.
Well, all best wishes at Pentecost.
Sincerely yours,
Erich
