Nothing from Max yet.3
1. Originally introduced to VW by his brother, Hervey, Sir Bruce Richmond had been the first Literary Editor of The Times and then founded the Times Literary Supplement.
2. Arthur Henry Fox Strangways, music critic and founder of the quarterly Music & Letters. VW appears to have been writing on UW’s behalf to literary friends – perhaps recommending her poetry for publication or suggesting her as a potential reviewer.
3. Presumably Max Beerbohm, now a neighbour in Dorking.

General Notes:
The letter is written on the reverse of a letter from estate agents R.M. Cocks & Son dated 17th June 1941, but is probably connected with VWL1545.
