WOOLF (VIRGINIA)
Footnotes
INSCRIBED WITH AN AFFECTIONATE NOTE TO THE HOGARTH PRESS SECRETARY, ON THE DAY OF PUBLICATION. In later years Peggy Belsher remembered Virginia warmly, recalling that "when publication was imminent books for review had to be sent out. At these times V.W. would come into the office to help with tying up parcels. Sometimes she would come in for some office stationary or a special request for me...". Virginia wrote to Peggy shortly after she left the Hogarth Press, "I always meant to say how sorry I was you were going - if for no other reason than that you were always so kind to me..." [see lot XXX].
Provenance: Peggy Belsher, secretary and head clerk at the Hogarth Press from 1928 to 1936, inscribed to her by Woolf; by family descent to the present owner.
