This letter is printed on p. 193 of The Letters 2pp., 4to., 19 quai Malaquais, VI, 23rd November 1947. Folded twice. After a couple of paragraphs discussing Hare's forthcoming book on Swinburne, and the potential difficulty of finding a publisher interested in taking on a French translation, Nancy writes: "Aren't novels the devil. Mine is so dull I can hardly bring myself to write it - never mind, people love dull novels I keep saying, the longer & duller the better." Amongst other matters, including 'the millionaire's flat' she has been lent, 'so unlike me in every way', she comments on the royal wedding, three days earlier: "Poor Pss E seems to have looked even more terrible than one had feared - did you go & loyally stand? I'm having my portrait done & the chap arrived with a wireless so we had it all - the Frog commentator translating the wedding service was a yell. Anyway it must have been a nice outing for all those decayed old royals - the poor little Yugoslavs were thrilled & spent happy weeks having their jewels re-set. I'm in love with King Mike, he looks a wonderful cad doesn't he." Nancy ends with a mention of a rich Parisian transvestite: 'The great thrill here is M. Lecomte who, with a curtain of golden hair to the shoulders, has ordered Balmain's shell pink & coral ball dress & 6 other dresses, & looks, so we are told, a dream in them. Everyone is trying to get to know him & be asked to the soirées when he wears his toilettes.' 8vo., original cloth with dust wrapper. Repaired closed tewar to lower panel of wrapper, otherwise a very good copy.
