Louis Wain Fact #3:
At a party, Wain once refused tea and alcohol, asking for milk instead. Some joker then poured it out into a saucer; Louis was “not amused.” Variations of this story had popped up over the years, with later transmutations recalling Wain specifically requesting milk in a saucer.

Dear Miss Hall,
Referring to our conversation today re Mr J Hannon late editor of map, I have just heard from his sister who thinks it wiser to wait till I hear from her again, as the doctor says that a growth is forming at the back of his eyes & this evidently means cataract possibly blindness.
Yours faithfully
Louis Wain
