Emily Coleman : Tigron, The

'I love Emily and am too much afraid of hurting her. Her book ['The Tigron' - unpublished] is so very personal to her. she seems to wants us and the world to judge it, not as a thing in itself but "think what this woman must have been through to write it..." I love a great deal of the book but I am not happy about it as a whole.'

Emily Coleman : [unknown]

'I had hoped to have a clear head here - to get on with German, Italian, etc. and to read some history. But I have been so heavy and tired all the time that I can only manage snatches of [italics] War and Peace [end italics] and [italics] Sherlock Holmes [end italics]. I am supposed to have done a detailed criticism of Emily's book - I have skimmed through it but that is all.'
