Scope and Content
In her letter to Willy, Georgette Chen expresses gratitude for the letter, mentioning that she didn't receive the previous one. She's pleased that the stole arrived and that Willy likes it, often thinking of them when she wears hers. Georgette plans to paint another portrait of Willy's mother out of love and remembrance. She describes her new bungalow and its rooms, noting that one of them sparks creativity despite her living alone. Georgette appreciates the absence of stairs, which she believes is improving her arthritis. She intends to immerse herself in work, starting with Bei-tsung, followed by her portraits. Georgette also includes her latest exhibition catalog at the Victoria Memorial Hall.
