KATHERINE MANSFIELD
Sir,-The. Listener's announcement for Mr. Hart-Smith’s review of Katherine Mansfield’s letters is» accompanied by her portrait-a miniaturist’s interpretation of the 1913 photograph which Mr. Middleton Murty has allowed to be published, at least twice; in 1920 when she was thirty-one years old and in 1951, twenty-eight years after her death, Katherine Mansfield’s reactions in 1920 read: "Entreat you let no one have hideous old photograph published in Sphere, burn it — it’s not me. It’s » HORROR, If it’s given to~ahy one please get it back. Fool I was not to have burnt it. I am not that other woman, I am not this great girl. Now I must ask you to see that it is destroyed at once." « Are we faintly reminded of the question and answer in her unfinished seaty Six Years After? "Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been-Nothing!"
