I am very much looking forward to seeing the exhibition. In fact I am
doing so on Saturday August 30 about 11 am with a group of Stanford
undergraduates; we are doing a short course on Bloomsbury at King's.
Shortly after twelve the group will probably have an informal lunch at
the National Gallery Cafe next door which is bigger than the NPG cafe.
Should some Woolfians like to join us, they would be welcome. Then
Stuart is taking the group on a Bloomsbury walk. I can't believe he'd
object to a few Woolfians coming along. It does seem a rather
Bloomsbury year with the exhibit, the cookbook, and the Memoir book.<br>
<br>
Other than on that weekend when we are also going to Tilton,
Charleston, Bewick, and Monk's House, we will be in residence at King's
Cambridge August 27-September 15 and if any Woolfians are in Cambridge
during that period they would be welcome to join us informally for
lunch or dinner in the King's Hall. Also on Friday September 5 at 5 we
are having a reception at Newnham with the Dadie Rylands' table on
which Virginia lunched and Frances Spalding should be giving us a short
talk. We are paying ten pounds a head for that event and a few
Woolfians would be welcome to join us for that fee!<br>
<br>
my best, Peter<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Frances Spalding has done a wonderful job of
creating a narrative through visual artefacts. Those photos by Ott can
actually be seen on the NPG website, I believe. I was surprised by
Mark Gertler’s painting of Koteliansky (‘Kot’): quite irrationally I
had always imagined Kot as an ascetic and tiny man, but in this
portrait he looks like a big burly businessman! There are some real
rarities in the show—the bound volumes of letters that Violet Dickinson
returned to VW late in life; I had not ever known Violet annotated
these (of course, under glass one can only see a page, but the prospect
is tantalizing); also the actual Gestapo list on which L & VW’s
names appear. And yes, the catalog is very rich and interesting. I am
in London doing research for a biography of Clive Bell, so was lucky to
be able to see this wonderful exhibition.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Diana, I was lucky
enough to have my trip to London coincide with the exhibit. I wish it
had not been so crowded, as it was hard to pace myself, but I was so
glad to get the chance! The book that Spalding has compiled for the
exhibit would be worth the while, I think, and is likely available
online through the NPG. It's very well curated, with some rare pieces,
including candid shots from Ottoline Morrell's photo album. I think
the impromptu snaps of Virginia are often so much more interesting than
those she posed for. <o:p></o:p></p>
