Summary
Concerning the intended preparation of bibliographies of Woolf's work by [Jacob] Schwartz and an American [Dale Warren]. Regretting to hear that Schwartz contacted Warren and told him to stop working on the project since Woolf was collaborating with Schwartz; noting that this is untrue and that she thought Schwartz's behavior "rather wrong." Remarking that she wants to keep out of it altogether and noting "Certainly I can't collaborate with either of them -- as the whole thing -- bibliography -- seems to me the greatest bore in the world!" Noting that they are "in great contentment here" and mentioning that they visited Montaigne's house that morning.
