Other than the flamboyance that can be surmised from Viquesney's ads and business correspondence, not much is known about the personal side of the man. Here, in a very rare look into the artist's human aspect, is a letter written in reply to his old friend and coworker in Americus, GA, Ed Purvis, who upon hearing of the death of Viquesney's first wife, Cora, wrote him a letter of condolence. The original letter is now in the possession of Mr. Purvis' maternal grandson, Alan Anderson, Archivist, Sumter Historic Trust, Inc., Americus, GA.
