"Xmas love".

Colette writes that her former husband, Miles Malleson, spent a weekend with her in December 1956. She invites his son, Andrew, to visit her as well in Lavenham, Suffolk.

Colette writes about her novel, Fear in the Heart: "I can't give a clear yes or no to your question whether I 'like' Hilary or not; but I feel great sympathy for him because his job went wrong, and because neither it nor he could keep their end up.... I think one of the reasons I wrote the book was to have a fling at the blimps and to show Hilary in as sympathetic a light as is compatible with truth." She liked Fitzgerald so much that she "very nearly married him off to Auriel at the end of the book."

Colette writes about the biography of Lytton Strachey by C.R. Sanders: "It's always interesting to see what a biographer doesn't say!"

She's been reading Andrew Malleson's pieces in The Observer and looks forward to his book.
