[1940], about the impending delivery (in London) of pictures by her sister (Vanessa Bell) and Duncan Grant, mentioning a problem with furniture removers, adding 'We are snowed up here, with a gale raging & the bath frozen, so I am beginning to envy you in London', also sending best wishes for the New Year, 3 pages, 8vo, an enigmatic note added on the verso of the second leaf 'This is the cat's paw' besides a semicircle (dampstained). -- WOOLF, Leonard (1880-1969). Seven typewritten letters signed to Mrs. Shrager (formerly Miss Talbot), Rodmell, 19 April 1941 - 11 November 1965, in the first telling her of his wife's death, 'Mrs Woolf's body was found in the river yesterday very near the place where I had found her stick'; in July 1941 acknowledging a letter about Between the Acts, 'Mrs Woolf was terribly worried about the book, thinking that it was hopelessly bad and this had a good deal to do with the breakdown', later recalling their acquaintance in Tavistock and Mecklenburgh Squares, approximately 4 pages, 8vo; with a letter by Quentin Bell and related items. Miss Talbot (later Mrs Shrager) was a clerk in the office of Dollman Pritchard, solicitors, below the flat in Mecklenburgh Square to which the Woolfs moved in 1939. Vanessa Bell's and Duncan Grant's pictures were moved to the basement there for safety during the bombing of London. Leonard Woolf writes of the discovery of Virginia's body three weeks after she had drowned in the river Ouse.
