These picture letters were written from her seaside vacation to Beatrix Potter's 4 year old nephew with pictures and words he could easily understand. Click on the link called "via" below each picture to see it full size and read further in The Morgan Library & Museum's description. It's so interesting to see the actual penmanship written with a dip pen and see the places where the ink was running low.
Enjoy this delightful glimpse into the life of our favorite author and illustrator.
Isn't this green book Christmas Tree the best?
Found on Tumblr.

The illustrated notes from Beatrix Potter are precious. I love her simple drawings. A big yes to the Christmas tree tower of green books. I'm sure grateful for all the clever people in the world--because I am lacking in that area!
what a delightful post!
what am I saying? ALL your posts I find delightful. LOL
I love letters always. and these written by one I admire so much...
it's as if I were living back then and enjoying it with her And little Noel!
thank you Rosemary! XO
I loved reading Beatrix Potter's letters along with the illustrations she included. You always find the sweetest things, Rosemary. The book Christmas tree is wonderful. Someone is very creative, and has a lot of time on their hands! (I have an amazing collection of books. I wonder if I have enough with green spines and bindings to do this myself?)
