Container Summary
[Kalaheo, Kauai] Asks Blake to take the “Nude Combing ” and two white nudes to Givens to send to him [Doi]. Wants Blake to keep “Nude Meditating” for good as a parting gift to him and wife Dorothy. Wants to retouch “Nude Combing” and paint over the white nudes. Wants to finish things up so he can leave sooner; “can’t endure staying here much longer and am finding it hard to do new things. Hopes to get away by October 1st. Is satisfied only with “Nude Meditating” and “Salome” and is half-satisfied with “Nude Combing” but is dissatisfied with the two white nudes. Climate is too much for him, makes him torpid; couldn’t do much work, only a portrait of his mother. He’s pleased with it, but his mother is not. Ran into ditch with his car; no injuries to him and only a dent to the car. He has formed a bad habit of studying the landscape while driving.
