The Letters of Katherine Mansfield: Volume I

Poste Restante — San Remo, Italy — September 19, 1919

Poste Restante
San Remo, Italy
September 19, 1919

This is the first day I am able to answer your letter. We were at the last moment forced to travel a day in advance. This I telegraphed you on Tuesday but L. M. forgot to send the wire, she says. I hate to think you came and there was nobody there. We had a dreadful journey, and this place is terribly hot and swarming with insects and hotel profiteers. But I am better to-day and I have found a small solitary little house away from everybody, hidden by olive trees, overlooking the sea. In eight days I shall be there. Please send me as soon as possible some more Tchehov, as much as you can—I will work fast here—and anything else. I will write again when I am stronger.
