  1. My Own Delightful Gordon,

    Your letter has moved me deeply as you may imagine. But alas, I must ever decline to be Mrs Lowther…

    —from Muriel Spark’s THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE (1961): a love letter – as imagined by her pupils – from Miss Brodie to Mr Lowther, the music teacher

  2. The Letter

    Paintings by husband and wife artists Charlotte Sorapure and Saled Dai

    Sorapure says of her 2017 Oil on linen painting:
    “The sleeping man is my husband the artist Saied Dai and yes, there is a tiny self-portrait in the reflection on the desk lamp – a silent witness. The painting on the wall is also a self-portrait, and the feeling I wanted was that of my watching over him. The whole painting is a kind of love letter …”

    Do we think Dai’s ‘The Letter’ is also a portrait of his wife? The 3rd painting, also by Dai, is ‘Portrait of the Artist’s Wife’ (oil)
