Part of a collection of letters to Sir Herbert Read from Dame Barbara Hepworth (English artist and sculptor) held in the Herbert Read archive at the University of Leeds, UK. The letters span the time period of 1965 to 1968, and discuss art, the art world and their personal lives. Hepworth enquires after Read's health and encloses an unnamed 'ridiculous object'. She has been able to walk three steps without aid after six month's convalescence from a broken leg.
