Autograph postcard, signed "VS" to A.C.H. Bell, Esq

London, 1906. framed. fine. Double matted and framed in double glass, with a picture of Virginia Stephen as a young woman. London, November 14, 1906. She writes on a Tuesday evening to her future brother- in -law , Clive Bell - "Thoby had a good sleep last evening & the dr says he has had a better day altogether than yesterday. He is asleep now. Everything so far is satisfactory. The dr disapproves of reading - says talk is better." This poignant note was written a week before Thoby died. Virginia Woolf had difficulty acknowledging her brother's death, pretending, in letters to Violet Dickinson that he had, in fact survived. She did eventually keep (truncated) him alive in her fiction. (Inventory #: 316986)
