My very dear Colette

Your letter which crossed2 with mine was a profound joy to me and made me deeply thankful to you.

I have just found some fragments on notes for an autobiography which I wrote in 1931.3 I send two pages which please return.

Let me know if you want the 3 books I mentioned.4 If so, should they be sent to 5 Endsleigh Place?5

I am very very happy that things are as they are between us.

  some fragments on notes for an autobiography which I wrote in 1931 The two pages that he sent her would be related to “My First Fifty Years”, which he wrote in May and June 1931. It is possible BR meant instead the “Epilogue” dated 11 June 1931, published since in Auto. 2: 159–60.
