Part of Papers of Sir Joseph Thomson (J. J. Thomson), Part II

Includes letter, 1 Mar. 1932, from Virginia Woolf to Thomson, saying she is honoured to be offered the opportunity to give the Clark Lectures for the year 1932/1933 but that she feels she must decline 'as an amateur without training in scholarship and without experience of lecturing'. It is a 'peculiar gratification... to have been offered a lectureship once held by [her] father'.
