The text is in the hand of Epstein's second wife, Kathleen Garman (1901 -1979), who had previously been his muse and longtime mistress. Kathleen thanks their correspondent for reserving seats at his wedding and continues 'I shall certainly be there & there is a chance (but I'm afraid a very slight one) that Epstein will down tools just for that one morning but the compulsion to work every morning is very strong. Perhaps I can persuade him to declare a one day strike on June 1st. It sounds such an auspicious date.' Signed by Kathleen with her first name only and signed by her husband with his surname only. VG

. Hinton House as it is known today was built around 1700, at Hinton Charterhouse, near Bath and is believed to occupy the site of a monastic grange.. The library offered here is composed from the collections of several families who at one time or another were incumbents of the property, from the 18th century onwards. Many of the books contain autograph signatures and bookplates of the owners, the earliest being Stephen Skurray and his wife Mary, nee Jacobs. Their daughter Mary married Samuel Day in 1786. Sam Day was High Sheriff of Somerset in 1797, and died in 1806 as the result of a fall from the hustings at Bridgwater, during the nomination of a member of Parliament for the County. Samuel and Mary Day had two children - Mary, who died at the age of 6 (the not unnatural result of being planted in a garden bed, and watered by her brother to make her grow), and Samuel Skurray (born 1787) who succeeded his father at the age of 19, and adopted the name Samuel Skurray Day. In 1810 he married the Hon. Catherine Lister, eldest daughter of the 1st Lord Ribblesdale, when she was not quite 17. They met at the Bath Assemblies. The marriage proved unhappy, and after an abortive attempt to run away in a chaise from The Crown Inn she finally left him in 1813, and returned home to Gisburne in Yorkshire. It is said that she promised a Norton woman 5 if she could send irrefutable proof of her husband’s death, and that on the day of his funeral in 1816 she was seen hovering outside the Churchyard wall, in Vicarage Lane. While at Magdalen College, Oxford, Sam Day had made friends with Thomas Jones, son of his mother’s old friend and school fellow, nee Frances Foxcroft. The Jones family lived at Stapleton House, Bristol (demolished 1936). On Sam Day’s death in 1816, all his disposable property was left to his mother with the verbal request that after her death everything might go to his “Dear Friend, Tom Jones”. Mary Day survived her son by 30 years, during which time she lived quietly in order to pay off jointures and debts amounting to about 30000.. In 1835, Thomas Jones married the Hon. Margaret Nugent Talbot daughter of Lord Talbot de Malahide and inherited the Hinton House estate in 1846. Thomas Jones was High Sheriff of Bristol and died in 1848. His heir Edward Talbot Day Jones was only 11 years old at that time. In 1868 he reverted to the name Foxcroft, and the house remained in the family until the Second World War. Ackermann (Rudolph).
