Leonard Woolf to Saxon Sydney-Turner, 1 September 1912: 'No one has ever given or lent me anything more useful than your little Spanish dictionary. It is always in my hand or pocket. I can now carry on quite a long conversation out of its leaves. We [Woolf and wife Virginia, on honeymoon] stayed in an inn in a village under Montserrat [...] in which only one youth was said to know any language other than Spanish & that was French which was less in quantity & quality than our Spanish. Crowds stood around us while I looked up words in your dictionary & there was nothing which did not eventually become intelligible.'
