Evidence: | Leonard Woolf to Virginia Woolf, 24 April 1923:
'I am on the train from Victoria to Richmond after a very easy journey. Train from Paris packed & if I had not started at 9.15, I should not have got a corner seat [...]On the station at Paris I suddenly heard: "Mr Woolf, I dont suppose you remember me", looked round, & saw Mrs Dominic Spring-Rice [...] I had a long talk with her on the boat. At Newhaven I bought The Times, opened it, & the first thing that caught my eye was that her father had died yesterday. She certainly did not know. Ought I to have broken the news? At any rate, I didnt.' |
