Dear Francis,

    You must be fearing I had left the earth, and its binding forces hardly increase.  May I ask one question?  Has this double world the same significance as it would have here, or anything approaching it?  Just Yes or No, and we will pass on.  

    The book is the strongest you have done, and quality seems to break in everywhere, or perhaps rather to break out.  You have great gifts, and the present misfortunes will not alter its inevitable end.  You may come to say you are glad it all happened.  It is better to be drunk with loss and to beat the ground, than to let the deeper things gradually escape.

    Do come and see me when you can.

                    Yours always with love, 

                                           Ivy     

– quoted in Secrets of a Woman's Heart: the Later Life of Ivy Compton-Burnett, by Hilary Spurling (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1984)
