On one level they record the innocent thoughts of a youthful, energetic mind, but they also provide an invaluable diary of Nash's life and work at the beginning of his artistic career.Reading these letters one is immediately taken in by the eager enthusiasm of Nash's writing, his spontaneous descriptions of people, places and events. It is only later that one realises they also contain a wealth of biographical information. Reading this correspondence, one becomes totally absorbed in Nash as a person and as an aspiring artist. . These letters to Mercia capture Nash's youth, his innocence and his receptive mind. They complement his autobiographical fragment Outline, in both time and spirit, but Outline was a retrospective piece written with hindsight and maturity many years later. These letters are unedited and speak directly with the freshness and vigour of a youthful heart." Fine in Fine slipcase.
