Scope and content

Copybook containing a handwritten draft of a portion of part 1 of 'The Leavetaking' beginning 'Coming from the spring sunlight into blinded darkness of the sickroom he paused in his slow way at the door for the vagueness to harden about the bed where she lay, for the pale face to show on the pillow of her hair against the linen, but when it did grow mutely clear it was easier for him to remain standing in the doorway than to draw closer.' Also contains a handwritten draft of 'Wheels'' ' beginning 'I was going home, in the morning cold of Westland Row Station, three porters pushing a trolley up the near empty platform, loose wheels rattling.' Also contains a handwritten draft of a review of ' Between Life and Death ' by Nathalie Sarraute beginning ' "Nearer to me a fine mist" This is I suppose, the description of the final bringing together of "the world of literature and the world of life" '.
