Three good handwritten signed letters from Henry Lamb to John Holmstrom (a collector of Henry Lamb's paintings) loosely inserted. One is hand-written from Coombe Bisset, Salisbury and two are written on headed notepaper from the same address. They all date from 1954 (3/7, 12/12 & 28/12) consisting of about 190, 122 & 170 words. In the first letter Lamb agrees to sell his painting of 'Valentine' for 60 guineas instead of 100 guineas as agreed by the gallery. In the second Lamb says he is 'glad to hear the young Valentine continues to give pleasure.' He goes on to say that when Holmstrom visits, Valentine, now aged 16, might well be about. The final letter is still about their proposed meeting and the possibility of Valentine, now garbed as a public school boy being there. 'There is a last years' picture of him now in a small exhibition in the Salisbury Art School (New Street) which would prepare you for the shock of seeing him in the flesh.' A further letter from Keith Clements to Holmstrom is loosely inserted written on headed notepaper from Queenwood, Darley Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex BN20 7UN and dated 20 April 1979 consisting of about 190 words in which he thanks Holmstrom for his helpful details. He also says that Lady Pansy (Lamb's wife) is still in London and that he hasn't been in touch with Valentine Lamb, but that he lives in Dublin and works for the 'Irish Times'. Henry Lamb (1883 Ð 1960) was an English painter of Australian birth.
