Keynes (John Maynard)

Keynes (John Maynard)

Typed letter signed ('Keynes') to Sir W.D. Ross, Provost of Oriel College, Oxford, from 1929 to1947 and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1941 to 1944, saying "On my return from the United States I find your letter of a fortnight ago about the British Institute of Philosophy. Very sorry to be disobliging to you, but I should like nevertheless to stand aside. In the first place I decided some little time ago to retire from the profession of writing circular letters to the newspapers. Otherwise, hardly a week would go by when I should not be found supporting something about which I knew nothing. In the second place, I fear I have not much of an opinion of the British Institute of Philosophy; certainly not enough knowledge to justify me in pressing other people to be active or generous in the matter", two pages, mid-horizontal folding mark, 8vo, 46 Gordon Square, Bloomsbury, 30 March 1946.
