Dear Sir,

We are preparing a Manual of English Literature for educational purposes in which we should like to reproduce an extract from [*"*]ORLANDO, a [*A*] b [*B*]iography[*"*] by Mrs Woolf, the actual text being p. 33, line 18: "The Great Frost was, historians tell us, the most severe that ever visited these islands".... to p. 38: "The stranger's name, he found, was The Princess Marousha Stanilovska Dagmar Natasha Ihana Romanovitch, and she had come in the train of the Muscovite Ambassador, who was her uncle perhaps, or perhaps her father, to attend the Coronation."

We should also like to reproduce an extract from Mrs Woolf's TO THE LIGHTHOUSE, the actual text being Section 17, p. 129, line 25: " - 'But what have I done with my life?' thought Mr. Ramsay" .... to p. 173, line 5: ".... her shoulder, already the past."

Could you possibly give us permission to do this?

Faithfully yours, | Wm. COLLINS SONS & CO. LTD. | W. Parrish. [signature]
