			<p>One typescript letter signed by Virginia Woolf from 52 Tavistock Square with the
				annotated date "Xmas day" and a manuscript envelope postmarked December 27th, 1928.
				In the letter, Woolf writes that "I am more pleased than I can say that you survived
				my burial. Never will I attempt such a thing again. To think that you have bought my
				book!" The burial refers to Woolf's having used Ruck's name in Jacob's Room, with
				the minor change of adding an "h" to it ("Bertha Ruck") and killing the character.
				Though Ruck initially considered a lawsuit, the authors after exchanging letters,
				were reconciled.</p>
