Autograph Letter Signed to Eileen Cond,
saying having no car, and stuck at my desk... I can seldom get out of Budleigh, she has just spent almost two weeks in London delivering my latest book to Heinemann's, making copious cuts... working in their office and my hotel bedroom... They are very enthusiastic and are hastening publication for... June... I like to have one going before publication of another... My previous publishers [H & S] always gave me about ten months interval at least, she hopes Miss Cond will come over, London was awful! Full of diesel fumes... I stay at the Rembrandt within walking distance of her friends, but most of them also have country houses or cottages where they can get away from it all, 4 sides 8vo, Cintra, Budleigh Salterton, Devon, 7th November
