4I send Remembrances. I’ve not had time to copy it out. Please send it
5back ^soon^ as I shall have to revise it & send it off by the 4th.

7The letter you sent me this evening was nice to me, I sat by the
8window reading it.
9
10I don’t think I love you so much when I am alone as when other people
11are about you ^me.^ Then I hunger for you. I wonder why it is?
12
13If that sentence is kept in Miss H–’s article it makes the whole
14article bad. I send you Mrs. Walters letter. She doesn’t like ^much^
15your article, I can see, (the mere fact of you^r^ mentioning Hinton
16would cause that, she has such a horror of his ^actions^ views & disgust
17to his person) & she has set her heart so upon my loving Haycraft. ^She
18would love my boy if she knew him.^ What she says about sexual feeling
19is so absolutely true; & that ^(oddly enough)^ is one of the things I
20wanted to say to Miss H- in my letter last night in very nearly the
21same words.
22
23You don’t mean only to stay a few hours if you come, do you? I can get
24a bedroom for you just behind mine a nice one.
25
26I am better today.
27
28My sister-in-law is coming over to see Wilfred tomorrow. I don’t know
29if she is coming to see me.
30
31Have just got notes from Miss Müller & Miss Lord. Miss Lord seems to
32think it will all be arranged about “Ghosts.” If I were in town I
33should go to see Champion & beg him to publish it. He must.
34
35I am going to work hard at French. I should like to get a good book
36from the library with a translation What What shall I get? It is a
37bright clear night the storm has gone. I cook all my food here.

41^Your sister^
42
43I have opened my letter again just to say something, & now I don’t
44know what to say except that you mustn’t feel alone in the world. One
45other soul is walking with yours. I feel such fear that you might get
46to care for me too much, that explains the kind of quietness I show to
47you. You know Henry you don’t seem to me like another man you seem
48like part of myself How can I keep
49
50^you far from me.^
51
52^Don’t take too much bromide. You mustn’t lower yourself too much with
53it. Tell me about the dots. I am going to set my teeth together & work
54tomorrow come what will.^
