Description
Handwritten letter on headed paper, addressed from the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, in which Orpen relates his recent ailments, and updates Grace on life in Clonsilla, writing that 'they are all well there and a much happier family I imagine than they used to be, I have heard no 'bickerings' going on now...' [Clonsilla may refer to the residence of Mrs. St. George , with whom Orpen had a lengthy relationship, and for whom he painted annual portraits of her daughter Gardenia St. George]
