User blog comment:GunjiBunny/Lytton Strachey's Letter to Virginia Woolf/@comment-1674153-20160425075825

For one, since Woolf suffered from her bipolar disorder long before Strachey sent his letters, I figured it would be best to imply that this artifact was born from both of their influences rather than just Strachey's. This would also go further in explaining why each of the three letters would have different effects - they are the result of three sets of two people's emotions mixing, rather than just the one guy.

For two, you will be hard pressed to convince me that an artifact would turn Partridge straight when he clearly was already in love with two different women. All three of these people had love affairs with both guys and girls, but it's not established whether or not Partridge was ever truly in love with Strachey. If you're going to make that letter an artifact, I think you're going to need a better effect than a sexual orientation recalibration.
