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
