Club of Buenos Aires have done me in inviting me in such generous terms to attend the Congress in August 1936. I have taken some days in which to consider the matter; but I much regret to say that much as I should like to come I fear it is impossible for me to arrange it. My engagements here are such that I could not be out of England for so long a time as would be necessary. Therefore I am reluctantly obliged to decline your offer. But I need hardly say how much I appreciate the great generosity which you have shown me both in wishing for my presence and in offering to defray the costs of the journey. It is with the greatest regret that I find myseld sic unable to avail myself of so great an opportunity for visiting your country and making acquaintance with your work. Believe me dear Sir with profound gratitude and best wishes Very sincerely Virginia Woolf." Not in "Collected Letters" edited by Nigel Nicolson.

Woolf writes "About Vitas new book-- I will certainly do my best to make her choose the title you want . but as far as I know she has not yet begun to write it . I shall remember your wishes and drop them tactfully into her ears". Woolf then suggests that Lady Sackville write her Memoirs for the Hogarth Press "Nothing could be more interesting. We would publish it with lots of pictures". The recipient has annotated the envelope "asking me to write my life and publish it through the Hogarth Press!!! I refused of course". With a 1982 letter from Nigel Nicolson Lady Sackville's grandson presenting the letter to a house-guest he remarks "If the illiterate crazy old lady which Lady S. had become in 1927 had accepted Virginia's offer what would the Press have done with the nonsense she produced" <br/><br/> unknown books
