"AS YOU SURMISE I AM NOT A WOMAN (CAMBRIDGE WOULD NOT HAVE ME IF I WERE)."
HILTON
(James, 1900-1954, Author of 'Lost Horizons' & 'Goodbye Mr Chips')
Fine early Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Wood,
thanking her for her letter and "review in the B. Poet. As you surmise I am not a woman (Cambridge would not have me here if I were), as a matter of fact I am just a B.A. having a post graduate course. If you thought the Times Lit Supp. unfair to Storm Passage, you should have seen its review of C. Herself! The general import of it was that I should go back to my cradle and not trouble the august Times reviewers any more! I am glad however to find you agree with me that the Times reviewing is sometimes a little malicious. The best reviews I have had so far are your own and one in the Manchester Guardian (I conribute to the latter sometimes) ...", with a postscript that he thinks her "criticism ... very valuable especially about Alice Aune's baby. I knew all the time that I had not made the little creature live, but you are the first reviewer to remark on it ...", 2 sides 8vo., Christ's College, Cambridge headed paper 16th May
