COULD YOU ARRANGE FOR NEW PHOTOGRAPH ALREADY SENT BY ME TO APPEAR ON WRAPPER OF BLISS BLOCK WILL BE SUPPLIED BY MURRY.
KATHERINE MANSFIELD
[Telegram to Constable & Co Ltd in Collected Letters]

Dear Madam,
I am greatly obliged to you for your letter. I am sorry it has not been found possible, even by the substitution of other blocks, to stop that horrible photograph. But it is a relief to know you will see it is not used for publicity purposes on any further occasion. Instead of advertising Bliss it looked to me as though it ought to describe How I Gained 28 lbs. in One Month. However -
Would you kindly see that all further communications respecting my book are addressed to me personally at the above my permanent address.
Letters do not take more than 2 1/2 days & if the matter is urgent I will avail myself of the electric telegraph.
Yours very faithfully
Katherine Mansfield [Letter to Constable & Co Ltd in Collected Letters]
