Llewelyn Powys: Copy Letters

Scope and Content

Undated typescript made by Powys' wife Alyse Gregory of 62 letters to his brothers John Cowper Powys (32 letters, 1914-1937) and A.R. (Bertie) Powys (13, 1900-1935), his sisters Philippa Powys (8, 1915-1934) and Gertrude Powys (8, 1916-1937), and H. Rivers Pollock (1, 1927).
