She reminded me when we were 1st introduced that she had spoken to me on the phone some years earlier at the time your brother was ill - my husband was also dying at the time and an article in the Advertiser prompted her to contact me. 3rd, I had once owned an art gallery for serious art buyers. And in spite of a pretty broad general knowledge of Australian artists did not know of Constance Stokes. But I knew and frequently went to Leveson St Galleries in the late 60's. My uncle was Lloyd Rees who got a brief mention in your book. 4th, the Latvian connection has given me so much more understanding of the wartime experiences of Latvian friends. I could say lots more, but will conclude with warm congratulations. I will treasure the book. And I am off to the Gallery (Adelaide) to ferret out the Stokes in its collection. M.
