| The editors have added a footnote stating that the prize mentioned by Virginia was the Prix Femina Vie Heureuse. A footnote to a letter dated 14 March, from Vita to Virginia, p.279, gives the date of the Woolfs' departure to France as 26 March. This establishes the date of the reading experience. |
