The Letters of Katherine Mansfield: Volume II

August 14, 1922

To Richard Murry

I did a thing to-day which it has been in my mind to do for a long time. I made a will, signed it, and got it duly witnessed. In it I left you my large pearl ring. My idea in leaving it to you was that you should give it—if you care to—to your woman whoever she may be. I hope you won't think this ghoulish. But Jack gave me the ring and I feel it would be nice to keep it in the family.

This doesn't mean, of course, that I am not as large as life and twice as natural. But just in case I was ‘taken sudden.’ I'd like you to know why the ring is yours.
