London Exhibition Of Mementoes (N.Z Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, April 27. A display of letters, photographs. and mementoes of the New Zealand writer. Katherine Mansfield, was opened at New Zealand House. London, by the Acting-High Commissioner (Mr R. M. Campbell). Later the display will be sent to her native city, Wellington, The “Daily Telegraph” diarist says it is "a moving exhibition, disclosing behind her facade of gaiety the constant fight against the illness that killed her, at Fontainebleau, long before her prime.” The diarist says that most of the letters have already been published. One, which has not been published, was written to her husband. J. Middleton Murry, in 1919 when she thought—four years too soon—that she was dying. “ It is a will, a pathetic disposal of small things. “Don’t let anyone mourn me,” she said. “It can’t be helped.”
