Spring, Dedicated 1979

"Spring" is a sculpture by J. Seward Johnson that was installed at William & Mary in 1979. At some time prior to 1991, the letter held by the figure Tina in the sculpture was broken off.

A transcription of the letter from "Spring" is as follows:

"Tina,

Hi! You wouldn't believe how

much I miss you! I am having

a great time here but I do

wish you were here.

Next month we go on

vacation and I will be home

to see you and I hope you

still Love me. So what's new

in town? Last week Bill

met a girl and Broke up

with Sue. Even if I see

a good looking girl I think

of you and I will never

break up with you.

I hope you don't Break up

with me for Some one else.

Luv you,

XXXOOO

Johnny."
