I am going away the third week in September, I think—to the Italian Riviera—Then I shall have unlimited time to work. I do not want at present to start a new life in a new country, like Lawrence, but to be about and to work—really that is preferable to going to Heaven….

My new kitten, Wing Lee, ¹ is lying on his back on the sofa waving his legs and arms. He runs like a rabbit. I am longing to write a story where a kitten shall play an important rôle.
