Dear Dorothy

I have been asked to pass on thanks from my friend to whom I gave that picture, which you so kindly sold to me, as a leaving present. He asked me to forward the following to you..
Dear Mr and Mrs BestI wanted to express my appreciation for the little piece of tranquillity that now resides on my living room wall. To glance upon it, is to instantly be transported through the minds eye to pleasant scenes reminiscent of the warmer times throughout life. It expresses that close bond we all have with our surroundings and environments, bringing a sense of inner peace. Beyond all this, it makes me smile! I once saw a stag, when I was a child and that same sense of majesty has been captured in this frame. I will for many years to come gaze upon the rich tapestry of colours with emotive glee. The locale in which it hangs, will always remain my little corner of escapist reality (I have included a photo of it's final resting place below) Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart and know there is a piece of Yorkshire that bears the Best family name.Yours truly,Angus J Whitehead

Letter received October 9th, 2008 -

We bought a painting on June 29, in Atlanta at Dukesfest. I am finally getting around to mailing you a picture of the painting in our house. Our children, Wil & Morgan, are in the picture as well.
Thanks,
Tanya Goette
