Dear Sir,

Your interest in the book fills me with great joy.

I have read carefully through my own copy of the MS [manuscript]. and I do not think that I can honestly allow that the novel is autobiographical, nor can I admit that any character in the book is actually identifiable with any person now living. My arrangements of time, place, and the relations between the various characters are quite arbitrary. 'Turbott Wolfe', whatever it may owe to life, is a work of the imagination.

I am particularly sorry that Mrs Woolf^*2 has been ill, and I hope she is quite well again by now.

I await with eagerness another
