Ex-Detective Sergeant B. Leeson : Lost London. The Memoirs of an East End Detective

Thursday 30 August 1934: 'No letters at all this summer. But there will be many next year, I predict. And I dont mind; the day, yesterday to be exact, being so triumphant: writing: the walk; reading, Leeson, a detective, Saint Simon, Henry James' preface to P. of a Lady -- very clever, [word illegible] but one or two things I recognise: then Gide's Journal, again full of startling recollection -- things I cd have said myself.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Virginia Woolf      Print: Book
