  • Description
  • Very personal letter. Hawkins might have been 'high' when he wrote to Renee 'last week' - 'one can't avoid getting that way sometime or other whilst travellingthe provinces'. He's still reading detective novels avidly. He may go the movies 'this afternoon' as there's a picture on with his 'favourite star - "Ruth Chatterton"'. He's trying to continue his music writing but 't's terribly difficult 'having to make your own atmosphere for inspiration'.,,
    Subject notes (people): Ruth Chatterton.,
    ,
    Format notes: Plain envelope and paper (deckle edged) - two sheets, double sided to form four numbered pages. Headed Hippodrome Theatre, Wolverhampton and postmarked Wolverhampton. Sent to 34, The Avenue, Brondesbury, London, NW6. Dated 'Wed: Morn. 3:00 - A.M.'. Letter signed 'Coly'.
