I spent that Easter at Antibes with Graham." TLS 10/8/1984* re Greene's birthday. Richey comments: "For his 80th birthday I had a copy of Looking Back by Norman Douglas rebound. I had in fact borrowed the book from Anacapri years before and never returned it. However the friend who bound the book for me told me it had been taken from Boots' lending library.

I never found out but a friend who worked in the Carnegie Institute (?) discovered quite a lot about the painter and I sent the dossier to Graham." TLS 1/29/1987.* Reference to a recent sailing incident which Richey explains: "The experience was the capsize of Jester in an Atlantic storm in 1986. The film I mentioned was Therese."
