I hope by tomorrow I’ll be able to do my laundry, I have 3 weeks of clothes to wash, right now I am listening to a opera on the radio, beautiful singing, how I’d love to go to a [an] opera again, this has been an awful winter for me, my Arthritis sure don’t like the cold and snow we are having and its really been cold, and there is at least 4 more weeks of it. I tell you the Baskfield’s really enjoy themselves at your place and as happy as (a) child is about a new toy of his panting. and Florence is a nice person, and you should see these two little boys of his, they always remind (me) of you and Earl at that age. but soon they will grow up and are gone. but there is always wonderful memories, no matter where they go. / I don’t know if I told you that Ben is in the hospital had a stroke, but is getting better, but wonder if he will be able to drive the car or live by himself when he gets out of the hospital, so I have no driver to take me shopping, and do things for me. so I don’t really know yet how I’ll be able to manage everything, on top of my own troubles, sure will be glad when spring comes along. at least I can go out. Well guess this is it for now, wonder how I’d get it in the mail, hope the mail man stops at my place to-morrow and picks it up. Takes care, God bless and guide you in all your doings, all my love to you both.

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.

Title A name given to the resource 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 + 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 The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise man grows it under his feet.

Title A name given to the resource 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.
