<note>In Vita's previous letter to Virginia, dated Tuesday 9 October 1928, she asks Virginia to send 'Orlando' before 4 o'clock. The publication date, 11 October, (the date of Vita's letter), is added by the editors in a footnote to this earlier letter. This establishes the date range of the reading experience and suggests that Vita read it in manuscript form. In a footnote to the letter of 11 October the editors add that Virginia sent Vita a specially bound copy of 'Orlando' on its publication day ie 11 October.
I have used Vita's and Virginia's description of 'Orlando' as biography. It is based on Vita's life but it covers a wide time span and its subject is a man. </note>
