Lydia Hoelscher, Correspondence
Subject
The topic of the resource
This collection features correspondence between artist LeRoy Neiman and his mother, Lydia Hoelscher, from the artist's early adulthood to Hoelscher's passing in 1985.
Description
An account of the resource
Lydia Hoelscher was an integral figure in LeRoy Neiman's early life, being the near sole consistent presence. Hoelscher, née Serline, married Neiman’s father Charles Runquist in 1918, with the couple and their two sons LeRoy (b. 1921) and Earl (b. 1920) residing in Duluth. When Runquist absconded the family in 1926, the mother moved to Saint Paul, wedding a leather factory foreman of Polish-German descent, "Jack L. Neiman" (John L. Niman). Avoiding what the artist describes in his memoir <em>All Told</em> as, “bothersome adoption legalities,” the children assumed their stepfather’s surname. The elder Neiman's alcoholic tendencies and Depression Era unemployment however led to early divorce. Lydia married Ernst G. Hoelscher roughly five years later, in 1940. <br /><br />Neiman maintained minimal correspondence with these male figures, including Earl, who had expatriated to Italy. These letters then provide a unique window into the artist’s family life, with the bulk written from Hoelscher to Neiman in the years leading up to her passing.

Dearest LeRoy! – Hello on this great Birthday, I wish you every(thing) good and nice as you deserve, sure seems a long time ago on a cooking hot day, God brought you to me, and ever sense I been the proudest mother on this ear. So God bless you. and keep on his guiding way for you, for many more years to come.
the weather sure is different to-day, its kind of cool and cloudy. I keep on thinking of you all the time, of course I do everyday, but somehow its different to-day.
I just got out of my food soak, I have a sore between my toes that’s been giving me some trouble, so I have to give it foot soak every day and put on some [salve], to me it’s nothing but the nurses here seem to make a big fuss over it. So I go along so far. anyway I didn’t want to write about sore toes, its a great day I have you which I /
thank God every day for. only trouble is I can’t see you very often, but I understand everything so things are O.K.
as I sit here writing, the desk is right in front of a big window looking out to the high way, and as you know how cars travel, and going someplace. so very body don’t sit around all day, but my days are over with just so I can stay well and take care of myself is all I ask. but to-day I have many memories and thank God for the good and great son he brought me. all I do is say Happy Birthday and keep the good works going, may prays are always with you.
all my love,
Mother

Lydia Hoelscher, Correspondence
Subject
The topic of the resource
This collection features correspondence between artist LeRoy Neiman and his mother, Lydia Hoelscher, from the artist's early adulthood to Hoelscher's passing in 1985.
Description
An account of the resource
Lydia Hoelscher was an integral figure in LeRoy Neiman's early life, being the near sole consistent presence. Hoelscher, née Serline, married Neiman’s father Charles Runquist in 1918, with the couple and their two sons LeRoy (b. 1921) and Earl (b. 1920) residing in Duluth. When Runquist absconded the family in 1926, the mother moved to Saint Paul, wedding a leather factory foreman of Polish-German descent, "Jack L. Neiman" (John L. Niman). Avoiding what the artist describes in his memoir <em>All Told</em> as, “bothersome adoption legalities,” the children assumed their stepfather’s surname. The elder Neiman's alcoholic tendencies and Depression Era unemployment however led to early divorce. Lydia married Ernst G. Hoelscher roughly five years later, in 1940. <br /><br />Neiman maintained minimal correspondence with these male figures, including Earl, who had expatriated to Italy. These letters then provide a unique window into the artist’s family life, with the bulk written from Hoelscher to Neiman in the years leading up to her passing.

Dear Mother – We are leaving Stockholm this A.M. for Finland. We had a very fine show here and a lot of fun. I am glad we decided to come because now I have a better idea of what the Swedes are like – I like them.
We’ll be back in N.Y. Sat. before you get this letter.

Wed. eve. 23rd
Dearest LeRoy + Janet:
Well I think its time for some one to [?] down and write, so here goes, Easter was here and gone so it’s a long time not to hear from you, and Janet did you get your Birthday gift?, I waited over two weeks ago, so if you didn’t get it let me know, altho[ugh] I guess there isn’t much I can do about it, as for once I didn’t insure it, any way I hope it got there and you can use it, even the basketball player to stand around and catch dust.
I have been so busy its not funny, to-day I just finished cleaning the front porch, so there is no more winter dust out there. I also washed 24 windows on both sides, so that’s it for the week, Friday and Sat. I go over to church to work, the [?] is having a rummage sale Sat, to try to raise some money, we are almost broke, I mean the [?].
I looked in the May Playboy for your work, but there wasn’t any so I didn’t get I, let me know when you have some thing in, I looked at Playboy after dark on T.V last week, but didn’t care much for Hefner’s program that night, he himself looks good, I like his longer hair. /
so we’ll see what he has on tomorrow night thats Thursday.
And our twins won to-day a tuff game 7 to 6 for the twins, so far so good for them, hope they keep it up.
Want to write Earl yet, no guess I’ll run along on this one, Earl called me Easter morning and I didn’t hear from him since but I guess its my turn to write him then, don’t you think?
We are all so busy in our own way, and time goes by so fast, maybe thats [an] excuse when we don’t write, but I think and pray for you every day.
God bless and guide you in all your doings.
Love to both of you,
Mother.
We learn [too] late how small we are how little we know.

Lydia Hoelscher, Correspondence
Subject
The topic of the resource
This collection features correspondence between artist LeRoy Neiman and his mother, Lydia Hoelscher, from the artist's early adulthood to Hoelscher's passing in 1985.
Description
An account of the resource
Lydia Hoelscher was an integral figure in LeRoy Neiman's early life, being the near sole consistent presence. Hoelscher, née Serline, married Neiman’s father Charles Runquist in 1918, with the couple and their two sons LeRoy (b. 1921) and Earl (b. 1920) residing in Duluth. When Runquist absconded the family in 1926, the mother moved to Saint Paul, wedding a leather factory foreman of Polish-German descent, "Jack L. Neiman" (John L. Niman). Avoiding what the artist describes in his memoir <em>All Told</em> as, “bothersome adoption legalities,” the children assumed their stepfather’s surname. The elder Neiman's alcoholic tendencies and Depression Era unemployment however led to early divorce. Lydia married Ernst G. Hoelscher roughly five years later, in 1940. <br /><br />Neiman maintained minimal correspondence with these male figures, including Earl, who had expatriated to Italy. These letters then provide a unique window into the artist’s family life, with the bulk written from Hoelscher to Neiman in the years leading up to her passing.

Sunday, noon.
Dearest LeRoy + Janet; -- Thanks for the phone call this morning, sure was nice to hear your voice, sure feel bad I can’t make it to N.Y. now, hope I can some day, I miss you very much, just sending a clipping out of the paper about your old pal, thought you would like to see it, the old boy is doing pretty good and even looks good.
It’s really chilly outside to-day it makes the house so damp I think I’ll turn the heat up to dry it out my old arthritis will feel better [too].
sure wish I would be going to N.Y. to-morrow as planned, but hope the good Lord will show me a way soon, I really want to see you so bad it hurts, and see your work. etc, I love the old studio.
I am going into tears here right now so I’ll cut it short just wanted to send the clipping.
Take care of yourself, hope I can see those tickets before to [too] long.
God bless and guide you well
all my love to you both.

Dearest LeRoy + Janet; --
Well its all over, not only Christmas, but old Truman is also done, that all you hear on the radio, not that I am not sorry but its better for him. I was thinking of you all day yesterday, picturing you at Great Gorge, that lovely place. but I had a pretty good day, all in all, of course I went to mass, then the young couple next door ask[ed] me over, you know their little girl Jeni is very close to me, of course she is growing up is 11 years old now, so we had a turkey dinner and different kind of drinks, which I didn’t drink to [too] much of as it seems now days they don’t (like) me, my stomach don’t feel good the day after, they have a tree and everything that goes with Christmas and chicken, so was not alone after all, I guess they kind of feel sorry for me, and we talked about you of course, and your work, they hope to see you someday. I am writing this letter on the stationary I got from Marlys at least she took care of it, and I don’t know why she sent me two boxes, and that was all, but I know how it was for her and all excited about going to be with Earl, I hope they had a (good) Christmas, being to-gether meant a great deal to him, the last letter I had from Earl he didn’t really know what they were going to do, he hoped to be by themselves didn’t want to go to their friends house, with kids and all, when I talked to you on the phone, I forgot to thank you for the check, it was wonderful. /
and the home made card that you [and] Janet made, thank you from my heart you are so good and kind to me, I don’t know yet how I’ll spend it. I get so excited when you call I always forget what to say, its so wonderful to hear you[r] voice, how we have New Years coming up and I am sure I will not take part of the wild life, I’ll go to mass maybe stay up long enough to hear the bells, but when a person is all alone its hard to stay up that long. and the real meaning of it, is not the choice that half drunk people make, so I’ll start the New Year the [quiet] way.
But yesterday I kept thinking of you, and all the other Christmas in the past, there has been some happy ones. I hope the toaster will be of some use one place or the other, I keep thinking of your house at Great Gorge what a place to have a family Christmas in, some day you will have it. I hope, everything is there to work with. I am day dreaming for you.
so now I’ll wait to hear from you from Chicago and I wish you luck and Happiness for the New Year this should get to you buy Sat. and you will be back in N.Y. will be thinking of and praying for you as always.
God bless and guide you in all your doings:
all my love to both of you.
Mother

St. Paul, Minn. March 22nd (1978)
Dearest LeRoy + Janet; -- Received your short, but sweet letter and hope you are home now, and of course busy, I am so down lonesome I could die, also kind of tired now, I was out and shoveled off the snow piled up on the out side basement steps, the show always drifts up there, and it takes forever and a day to melt, so now even if we get more snow the old stuff is gone. its beautiful day today with 40 degrees, sun shining, I am going to try to go down town to-morrow on the bus, I have to get my glasses straightened out and maybe I can see better, Ben came home from the Hospital a few days ago, he is staying with his niece because he can’t stay along yet, but he walks pretty good, and can use his hands good, but the doctor don’t want him to live alone yet. I believe I am in a worse state than he is, my hands are really bad its hard for me to hold things or do different things, also a lot of pain in them, my legs are pretty good, only hope we won’t get any more snow, as the ice is melting pretty good. then it won’t be bad to walk. but we still have some winter weather coming here any way.
Hope I can go to mass on Easter Sunday if we don’t get some more snow, I’ll be able to make it. no news to tell you, just wanted to write a line in answer to your letter, try and write me more often I get pretty lonely around here, and it always cheers me up, tell me the latest, etc. take care, God bless and guide you well, all my love to both of you,
mother. /
P.S. Wed. morning, and I am really under the weather to-day, so I’ll just have to lay around, had a little breakfast, hope I’ll be better soon, can’t afford to be sick these days to [too] much to do. another beautiful day outside, so I’ll just have to look at it for now.
Hope the mail man stops at my house so this will get on its way. cheerio for now.
