I have been boiled in a hell-broth, and on Saturday journeyed to Liverpool to place my mother in her transatlantic, with the confusion and scurry usual on such occasions, and the usual narrow escape from being carried off to America (or at least to Cobh) myself. In the tumult on the dock an impetuous lady of middle age, \u2018seeing off\u2019 a relative going to make his fortune in the New World, by way of the Steerage) stuck her umbrella in my eye, which is Black. I should love to visit you, seriously: the Prince of Bores to refresh his reputation: but the only pleasure that I can now permit myself is, that should I come to Eastbourne (which is doubtful) we might visit you by dromedary for tea: if I leave London at all I am most unlikely to get done all the things that I ought to do (such as my 1923 Income Tax Return) and certainly not any of the things that you want me to do. I have done absolutely nothing for six weeks. One thing is certain: I MUST stay in London, where Vivien will be, after this week, is uncertain. But<br \/>When do you want to publish my defective compositions? <br \/>When do you want the MSS?<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I should like at least to provide a short preface, which might take two or three nights\u2019 work, and make a few alterations in the text to remove the more patent evidences of periodical publication. These three essays are not very good (the one on Dryden is the best) but I cannot offer you my \u2018Reactionary\u2019s Encheiridion\u2019 or my \u2018By Sleeping-Car to Rome: A Note on Church Reunion\u2019 because they will not be ready in time. But you shall see for yourself, as soon as you wish, whether you think these three papers good enough to reprint.<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <em>But what about a FRAGMENT of an Unpublished Novel from you to me? <\/em>One exists most of the time in morose discontent with the sort of work that one does oneself, and wastes vain envy on all others: the worst of it is that nobody will believe one. But no one regrets more that these moods should occur to Mrs. Woolf (of all people) than<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Yr. devoted servt.<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thos.
