Autograph letter signed, from British author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), dated March 20, [1933] at London, England, to Roger L. Scaife (1875-1951), a director of the American publishing firm Houghton Mifflin and Company, who was then traveling in England. Woolf apologizes for the delay in writing and invites him to tea on March 27th. The brief letter, written on stationary for 52 Tavistock Square, W.C. 1 [London], is addressed "Dear Mr. Scaife" and signed "Virginia Woolf." The year is not specified, but can be supplied from her known correspondence with Vita Sackville-West regarding the visit. Woolf's letter of April 1, 1933 describes the resulting occasion and her impressions of Scaife
