Louis Wain Fact #44:
Wain was an avid collector of many things. When he was living with his sisters, he would constantly go out and spend money he didn't really have on various trinkets. Wain kept nearly everything he got while hospitalised too, leading to mice nesting in old newspapers he kept around.

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
