I did indeed expect a appreciation for Virginia Woolf’s detailed use of symbolism from you, Mr. Holmes. And, I am drawn by my name; Woolf understands and has felt the inspiration of something I attempt to provide to those in need. You are most logical, and so are most likely enamored of the beautifully wrought psychological probing. In her ways Virginia Woolf is a detective; she certainly seeks to understand and explain humanity, to find the only truths that are present. Of course, she does not seek out simple truths. Septimus and Clarissa, among the many other characters, have minds which reach out to touch something beyond their present reality. You perhaps may find this undisciplined! But I see in yourself and Virginia Woolf and the Dalloways and Smiths and all of their acquaintances (I have noticed a difficulty for many distinguishing the created characters from the exterior reality of the writer, and indeed is it possible to say whether the created character does not have a life of their own?) finely-tuned minds. I appreciate the ability of human beings to use the subtleties of their intelligence. The mind is a gift, and it is a gift given to both men and women Mr. Holmes. I am myself without human gender although associated with feminine characteristics, and see that perhaps your genuinely brilliant mind is clouded by your own identity.
