[Vwoolf] Octavia Wilberforce's letters?

[Shilo McGiff]

Hi, All,

I'm forwarding a research question from J Ellen Ganior bc I haven't the
slightest inkling of an answer. Any help would be appreciated---

all best,
Shilo

Hi Shilo—For some work I'm doing on actress/playwright Elizabeth Robins,
I've run across some references to letters sent to Robins by Dr. Octavia
Wilberforce, very possibly about Woolf that, according to Jane Marcus
(1978), were not yet allowed to be published.  Do you know if they are now
available? They are apparently about Woolf's mental health, but I'm curious
as to why Wilberforce was sharing that info with Robins (it appears they
were close), so there's a complex history here, it appears.

Any info welcome!

Thank you--
Ellen
