Content DescriptionReturn to Top

One typescript letter signed by Virginia Woolf from Monk's House, dated December 17th, 1939, and one manuscript postcard written on Leonard Woolf's stationery, also signed by Virginia Woolf. In the letter Virginia Woolf replies to a question proposed by Heffer regarding the usefulness of propaganda and empathizes with his life in camp. She offers to send him a copy of Leonard Woolf's recently published Barbarians at the Gate and any of her own works. Virginia Woolf writes in her postcard, which most likely accompanied the books mentioned in the previous letter, that she cannot publish Heffer's poems and suggests that he try the Daily Telegraph.
