Keynes, John Maynard

Beschreibung

After dictation to his secretary, Mrs. Stephens, the letters were typed and Keynes would sign them (with one exception) and at the same time frequently make emendations. The twenty three letters occupy 46 quarto pages, with about 612 typewritten lines, and there are some 27 autograph lines of additional material with numerous minor corrections and revisions. Eighteen of them are signed 'JM Keynes', one initialled 'JMK', one signed on his behalf by his secretary, and the last three 'Keynes' after he became a peer in 1943. Also included are two typed letters, signed and dated June 9th 1949, from Roy Harrod, concerning publication of short extracts of these letters in his then forthcoming (1951) biography, "The Life of John Maynard Keynes.".
