Letters from Peter Lanyon to J.P. Hodin
Date

Description
The first letter from Lanyon is heavily critical of Sven Berlin's ideas about Cornwall, while a second, later letter is illustrated and talks about one of Hodin's lectures and 'the latest disease of the [Penwith] Society'. On another page Lanyon has drawn a comical map of St Ives.
