Working on the letters has made me follow up aspects of Richardson’s biography. I notice in Gloria Fromm’s biography that Richardson had for a short time, a close friendship with Josiah Wedgwood from 1913, after she reviewed his book, The Road to Freedom, possibly a close friendship after he separated from his wife. Keele has some of the Wedgwood papers, but it turns out they have been moved to the Wedgwood Museum. I contact the Museum’s archivist who reports back that Richardson doesn’t feature in their box lists, but that their early twentieth-century material is not fully catalogued. Something to follow up, when the Letters project gets properly started.
