Thanks! It gave me the opportunity to revisit V.'s actual letters. He was, in reality, very brilliant and very lonely, on levels I can barely internalize.
Were his letters at the museum -- or available anywhere else for reading? Quentin, I am always struck by the depth of you knowledge of art, literature, and all manner of museums and history. Puts my culturally illiterate self to shame -- but makes me an avid reader of your work. I shared this one with husband, who also writes vignettes laced with his own brand of wit. We now have a new secret code: "oven mitts (wink! wink!)". He is, FYI, an odd bird and quite entertaining to be married to: http://www.bellowphone.com/writings.html
Absolutely brilliant.

They are readily available online, I found several versions on the invaluable Hoopla public library app.
My brother made your husband famous to me a few months back. I look forward to reading.
