In the preface to A Monument to the Memory of George Eliot: Edith J. Simcox's Autobiography of a Shirtmaker, Constance M. Fulmer writes:
In 1930 or 1931, the Autobiography of a Shirtmaker came into the possession of the son of Annie Gill. In the first of her three letters, which are included in the Appendix, she explained that her son died while he was an undergraduate at Oxford. She found the manuscript among his effects but did not know "whether he picked it up secondhand or had it lent." Annie Gill had no idea of the journal's significance, but using a magnifying glass, she read enough of it to recognize George Eliot's name. Twenty years later, when Gill heard a BBC broadcast on George Eliot in the "Woman's Hour Series" presented by Gerald Bullett, author of George Eliot: Her Life and Books (Collins, 1947), she wrote and asked Bullett if he would like to see the journal. He replied promptly in the affirmative; she sent the book to him, and although he never published any part of it, he kept the journal among his papers which were bequeathed to the Bodleian Library and were added to the collection in May 1958 (viii).
