[Vwoolf] Keynes Letter to Vanessa Bell

[Alice Keane]

Hi Kristin,



Keynes’s correspondence with his wife, Lydia Lopokova, was published in
1990 by Polly Hill, but I’m not aware of any similarly comprehensive
published volumes of Keynes's letters. I don’t currently have access to the
index (Vol. XXX) of Keynes’s *Collected Writings* -- which are really
fairly “selected writings" -- but it might be worth a quick search in that
index for Vanessa Bell’s name. The cite is: *The Collected Writings of John
Maynard Keynes: XXX (Bibliography and Index)*. Edited by Donald Moggridge.
Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1989.



Keynes tended to keep copies of his own drafted letters, so if the letter
hasn’t been published in *Collected Writings*, there might be a copy in the
King’s College Archives (https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/data/gb272-jmk.
Cambridge’s Janus finding aid indicates that letters from 1937 are filed
under “Reference JMK/L/37” (only 29 items, containing correspondence for
January-July and September-December, so this may be a long shot).



Hope this helps, but I am guessing someone who knows how to locate things
in Vanessa’s archives may be more useful...



All best,

Alice
