VELLORA

Letters From the House

The house writesto very few women.

Nothing is sold in these letters. They arrive rarely, they are short, and they are written the way the rooms are set.

  • I

    The letter before

    Sent the morning of an evening. What to leave undone, what to put down, how to be ready by doing almost nothing at all.

  • II

    The letter after

    Sent the day following. How to keep the hour in the body a little longer, and what the house noticed while it was with you.

  • III

    The letters through the year

    Four in total, one at the turn of each season, telling you what the rooms smell of now and which evenings have opened.
