Footnotes
INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN THE MONTH OF PUBLICATION, FOR THE HOGARTH PRESS SECRETARY. "Miss B[elsher] takes no interest in the books, but stumps out to lunch with a woman's magazine. I think she read Orlando, but that's because Mrs Woolf gave her a signed copy" (Richard Kennedy, A Boy at the Hogarth Press, 1972).
Provenance: Peggy Belsher, secretary and head clerk at the Hogarth Press from 1928 to 1936, inscribed for and gifted to her by Woolf, and with her own inscription inside lower cover; by family descent to the present owner.
