The second to last surviving member of the Bloomsbury Group the last being Anne Olivier Popham Bell wife of Quentin Bell as of 2007. A wonderful original set of two handwritten letters dated 1998 to Vita Sackville-West's bibliographer. In addition an original photograph Inscribed on the verso by Frances Partridge. Her death in 2004 at the great age of 103 closed a remarkable chapter in English literary life. Her friendships with Virginia and Leonard Woolf Lytton Strachey Dora Carrington David Garnett her brother-inlaw are vividly chronicled in her memoirs and would have assured her own immortality. Born and brought up in the heart of Bloomsbury in Bedford Square she became allied by marriage and friendship to everyone of significance in the literary and artistic worlds of the Twenties and Thirties.<br /> Two letters on stationery from her London home on West Halkin Street <br /> <br /> One sheet on ivory paper measuring approx. 8 3/4" x 5 1/4" written on both sides.<br /> Reads in full: <br /> "Flat 2 West Halkin St.<br /> London SWIX 8JL<br /> <br /> December 3 '98<br /> Dear Keith Ravenscroft<br /> Yes indeed the bookshop where I started working in ~ I think - 1921 certainly was Birrell and Garnett. David Garnett was also my brother in law this first wife being more of my elder sisters ~ Rachel or Ray the " lady" what became a 'fox.'! it was the assistant &. accountant and it was there that I got to know all the famous Bloomsbury characters who lived near own shop . the Bells Woolfs Roger Fry EM Forster. A little further off were the Sitwells and Nicholson's but I don't think we ever had Vita's book on Chatterton. Of course you must know the life of Chatterton whose second of two volumes has now her published It in by Richand Holmes.our best living biographer though not a member of Bloomsbury itself . I think I may myself be a member of that group & that I was friends of them all & have a great many letters from them you might even find interest in my own 7 dearies about them ! I am now 98.<br /> Yours sincerely<br /> Frances Partridge"<br /> <br /> One sheet of personal blue stationery measuring 8 3/4 by 11 1/4 inches written on both sides.<br /> Reads in full: <br /> "West Halkin Street<br /> London SWIX 8JL<br /> 0171 235 6998<br /> November 17th 1998<br /> Dear Keith Ravencroft<br /> I was interested to get your letter showing interest in the Bloomsburg group & I felt much as you do when<br /> after leaving college I came to London and went to work in a bookshop where many of then bought books just off Gordon Square you if right about Their deserving our interest I feel myself a late - comer ; I would say Old Bloomsbury began to form into a group at Cambridge ~ the heart of it being the daughters a sows of Sir Leslie Stephen Vanessa Virginia Thoby & Adrian & of Sir Richard Strachey of whom the most important was Lyston and his first cousin Duncan Grant. I Knew all these except Thoby who died of a fever caught abroad. The men were all Cambridge men including the husbands of the Stephen girls. Clive Bell and Leonard Woolf. I don't think any of them thought of themselves as a group but they shared many interests - literature & art travel were probably the common ties In fact whatever you say in your letter They tended to be left wing believed<br /> in independence of thought & highly valued friendship. You asked me to correct any mistakes so I will<br /> say that Harold was Vita's husband and probably her son Nigel sent you the book His brother Ben is dead now. They were not really Bloomsbury at it's . Her friendship with Virginia has brought her to be considered as such . They married Blooms did a had children and friends and so they have got into quite a clan. After all the Strachey's & Grans had highland blood!<br /> Ask me anything you want to know there is such a lot I don't know what to tell you.<br /> Yours Sincerely<br /> Francis Partridge" <br /> <br /> Expected fold lines. Fine condition.<br /> A fascinating portrait. unknown
