'I've not read it (and I dont suppose you'd care a damn to know what I thought, if I thought about it considered as a work of art - or would you?) - but I dipped in and read about Saulieu and the fair and the green glass bottle....I shall keep it by my bed, and when I wake in the night - so, I shant use it as a soporific, but as a sedative: a dose of sanity and sheep dog in this scratching, clawing, and colding universe....'

Additional Comments:
The title of the book is added in an editorial footnote In a second footnote they add that Saulieu is in Burgundy. I assume that the book was published shortly before Vita sent it to Virginia in 1939.
