Keynes (John Maynard)

Keynes (John Maynard)

Typed letter signed ('J.M. 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 "I would very readily sign the letter to Dr Benes which you have sent me if it were not that I have already signed a very similar letter drafted by Mr. H.G. Wells on behalf of a certain number of writers, which was delivered to Dr Benes a few days ago. In view of this, perhaps it would be rather a duplication for me to sign a further letter, and I feel that it would be better that I should not do so. If, knowing the above, you still feel that my signature should be affixed to this letter, I readily give you discretion to add it to the list", one page, folding marks, light foxing, 4to, King's College, Cambridge, 4 November 1938.
