TitleLetter from Keith Henderson, 18, Kensington Gardens Square, to Olive Rucker
CreatorHenderson; Keith (1883 - 1982); painter
Date18 January 1911
DescriptionMentions a picture of some little hummingbirds and he hopes Olive will like it. Says he forgot to sign it, but that is an unimportant detail. Describes his work in paiting it, and his wish of having a shot at it despite the difficulty of capturing the hummingbird. Asks her not to add his letter to her likely enormous list of correspondence to be answered because his is only to say he wishes her every joy and delight that the jolly old world can give. Asks her to decide on Gerrad's Cross eventually.
