I feel already as if you are my right hand...'), Frere replying '...I only hope to be able to repay your trust, confidence and kindness...', continuing with a wide-ranging and intimate correspondence, revealing their feelings for each other, but also her struggles with writing ('...I am sticking to Vera, with the result that blackest dejection sits clutching on my soul... say prayers for the safe delivery of this book...'), Frere sending a verse by Alice Meynell ('...

It is a good subject. And only a woman could treat it really thoroughly & truthfully...'), the last group including a telegram from Patricia Frere notifying Frere of Elizabeth's death ('Elizabeth died this morning in her quiet sleep'), some 440 pages, dust-staining, small tears, 4to and 8vo, Chateau Soleil, Whitehall Court, Cambridge, Portofino, Mas des Roses, USA and elsewhere, 17 March 1920 to July 1947ii) Manuscript draft of her novel Christopher & Columbus, incomplete, written in ink with many deletions, additions and corrections, leaves 4-30 and 102-197 present, plus 2 extra leaves at end, dust-staining, tears, some leaves loose, disbound, lower cover missing, 4to (219 x 142mm.), [c.1919]; with additional manuscript draft for the same novel, ink and pencil, 66 leaves, dust-staining, tears, some leaves loose, in a 'Glendower Bond' notebook, 220 x 164mm., [c.1919]; manuscript drafts of the beginning of a 'Novel in Letters', a correspondence between 'David Fellowes' and 'Anne Doughty' written by von Arnim and Frere, 19 leaves, 4to; further three typescript leaves of 'correspondence' between 'Mrs Denison' and 'William Brayton', [1922-1923]; manuscript draft of Elizabeth von Arnim's review of A Passage to India ('...Plot.
