When Madge Vaughan died, Virginia Woolf wrote to Madge's daughter, Dame Janet Vaughan:
"I hope you won't mind me writing to you. I have thought so much of you since Madge's death. I can't describe to you what she was like when she used to stay with us at St. Ives and how we worshiped her."

Madge Vaughan was the inspiration for the character of Sally Beaton in Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway."
