ALS : Autograph Letter Signed
British author (1882-1941) revered as one of the most important writers in the English language. On March 28, 1941, after a final attack of mental illness, she loaded her pockets with stones and drowned herself near her Sussex home. ALS, one page, 4.5 x 7, personal letterhead, June 20, [no year]. Letter to Miss McAfee, the editor of the Yale Review. Virginia Woolf writes in her hand, in full: "I am so sorry that we have already another engagement on Tuesday next; or we should have liked very much to come. We were so glad to see you. I will write before the 30th & suggest an article, if possible. I have to make some arrangements...but I should like to combine with you if I can manage it." In fine condition.
The author regularly corresponded with McAfee, as it was through her and agent Ann Watkins that Woolf would negotiate the publication of her articles. Woolf viewed women in journalism to have more power than men in the field, prompting her to create a female network of contacts. The Yale Review, published by Yale University, is the oldest literary quarterly in the United States and devotes its pages to discussions of such topics as national and international politics, economics, and history. A beautiful letter for display.
