Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Leonard Woolf to Frank Hardie, 11 October 1933: 'Many thanks for your letter and for the copy of your article which I had already read with great interest. I think we probably agree to the extent of about 95%. Even on the subject of isolation I have always been strongly drawn to the policy under certain conditions. But the conditions do not at present exist and I feel the gravest doubts as to their ever existing.'
