Colville House | Lowestoft {1}.
16. 7. 00—
Dear Mr Laurence.
Just a word of thanks for your letter which was quite correctly addressed.
This is a lovely place and we are all as happy & contented as it is possible to be. It is a blue world just now. You know Watt’s† picture “Hope” {2}—that sort of blue.
Yours sincerely
Emmeline Pethick.

{2} Either of the two paintings of this name painted by George Frederic Watts in 1886. The better-known of the two was presented by the artist to the National Gallery of Art (the Tate Gallery) in 1897, the year the gallery opened, and this may be where Emmeline saw it, though both versions had been exhibited publicly in the 1880s.
