Abstract
On 2 January 1937 Aldington wrote from Bonnie Hall Plantation, Yemasee, South Carolina, explaining to Henry Slonimsky that he had decided to come over for Christmas in response to an invitation from the Doubledays, but that Brigit remained in London ‘with the boys’. Aldington’s seriousness about his new love relationship may be gauged from the fact that ‘On board MS Lafayette, approaching England’ on 15 January, he wrote to warn H.D. that she would shortly receive evidence of his adultery with Netta, who, by chance, she had met with Aldington in a London tea shop. H.D. had moved to London in 1934 after completion of the famous series of analyses which resulted in her book Tribute to Freud.1
