Funnily enough, I just went through the ms of my biography of Clive Bell (forthcoming April 2021) and put in the apostrophe throughout because that is how it appears in a letter of Clive’s I quote. I have always thought either was acceptable, and I think VW herself uses both. I was never much swayed by the absence of the apostrophe on the gate as that seemed likely to have been an aesthetic rather than orthographic decision.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Vwoolf <vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.osu.edu> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Danell Jones via Vwoolf<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, February 15, 2020 1:57 PM<br><b>To:</b> vwoolf@lists.osu.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vwoolf] Monks?
