| Evidence: | Monday 12 November 1917: 'I went to Mudies, & got The Leading Note, in order to examine
into R.T. more closely [...] I came home with my book, which does not seem a very masterly

method is apt to be sketchy & empty.' |

| In referring to author as 'R. T.' Woolf is clearly thinking of her under her married name (Rosalind Toynbee), Murray having been been her maiden name (she was the daughter of Professor Gilbert Murray); see p.74 n.16 in source. |
