Evidence: | Wednesday 28 August 1940: 'I should say, to placate V[irginia].W[oolf]. when she wishes to know what was happening in Aug. 1940 -- that the air raids are now at their prelude. Invasion, if it comes, must come within 3 weeks [...] We've not had our raid yet, we say. Two in London. One caught me in the L[ondon]. Library. There I sat reading in Scrutiny that Mrs W[oolf]. after all was better than the young. At this I was pleased.' |
