Authorial interchange

Wednesday, September 27th., Les Sablons.

I finished another short story today, "The Long Lost Uncle", and sent it off to the typists.

I went to Paris on Monday and returned yesterday, and again felt very strongly that a few months of Paris would suit me.

Image result for Philpotts "Knock at a venture"I read Philpotts's new book of stories "Knock at a Venture", and wrote to him about it today, and today I received a long letter from him about my book, "Sacred and Profane Love". Excellent reciprocity! His praise is very simple and detailed and notable, but on the whole I am inclined to think he doesn't like the book as well as "Leonora".


Altogether I must have written 4,000 words today.
