To My Mother Hou Loves Me, From Teddy, Sweet Old Double-sided Crayoned Note newbury ma circa 1950A number of works on paper today of the very tender and earnest sort that I just can't leave behind and this chief among them! From a young Teddy "To My Mother hou Loves me!" And how could she not?! With what I imagine is a self portrait of Teddy with his sister of friend on reverse, hearts everywhere. Very heart warming, indeed! 8 7 8" x 6". General wear, old fold lines as evident, spiral edge at top and one tear to right edge of paper near top.
