John Maynard Keynes : article on the Munich Crisis
Virginia Woolf to Vanessa Bell, Monday 3 October 1938: 'Yesterday the Keynes came to tea. Maynard had already summed up the situation [i.e. the Munich Crisis] in a very good article which he read us; I'll send you the N[ew]. S[tatesman] on Friday in which it appears. His view is that the whole thing was staged by Chamb[erlain].; that there was never any fear of war; that he never even consulted Russia; that it was a put-up job between him and Hitler [...] that we are sure of peace during our life time [...] and so on.'

H. G. Wells : Experiment in Autobiography
Sunday 6 January 1935: 'We lunched with Maynard & Lydia [Keynes] [...] talked about [...] Wells -- [Maynard] had read his Au[tobiograph]y. Thought him a little squit [...] A lack of decency, said M. [...] Then he read us a long magnificently spry and juicy letter from Shaw, on a sickbed, aged 77. The whole of economics twiddled round on his finger, with the usual dives & gibes & colloquialities. The most artificial of all styles, I said, like his seeming natural speaking.'

John Maynard Keynes : 'Memoir Club' paper
Monday 12 September 1937: '[At Memoir Club meeting] Maynard read a very packed profound & impressive paper so far as I could follow, about Cambridge youth; their philosophy; its consequences [...] The beauty & unworldliness of it. I was impressed by M. & felt a little flittery & stupid. Then he had to rest; it turned grey & cold. M. had to be slowly conveyed -- a bed made on the ground floor at Charleston. Nevertheless a very human satisfactory meeting.'
