2 Portland Villas, Hampstead - London

[. . .] On Wednesday I am going to hear the Spanish singer I mentioned to you - Raquel Meller.
Is the paper arriving regularly now? Please let me know if it is not . . .
It is very exciting that you have written another sketch. I so want to read the first one again. Oh, there are so many things to be done. We start the short stories in the paper in the month of June. You will send one? They are to begin with my story about your tree.
It is a pale English day - more silver than white. The cook has brought me in a bunch of bluebells. How lovely they are, these flowers of the wood. They have a sweet smell and like all these early spring flow¬ers as one touches them one thinks of water.
Yours ever,
K.M.
Yes, the grey jersey was a parting gift from ces dames a la Villa Flora. It's much too big for me. [To Sydney and Violet Schiff in Collected Letters, 10 May 1920]
