^*Unlike the elegant mural of two men over the Murphy bed (which had been created by Steward himself, and which remained on the wall for as long as Steward kept the apartment), these wall drawings had apparently been scrawled crudely in advance of a sex party (Steward to Lynes, December 19, 1953). Steward had done something similar in the late 1940s, judging from descriptions of a similar mural in the toilet correspondence. Steward kept a Polaroid of the later “rough” mural.
