This has happened to a lot of writers. My thought on the matter is - if
they didn't burn them themselves then possibly they didn't *really* want
them burnt at all. This is certainly the case with Katherine Mansfield, who
requested that her remaining writings go this way - then her husband spent
the next 30 years or so getting rich off them.

Still ... we have the stories and that's the main thing.
