Three letters, 1917, to P[hilip] H[enry] Thomas, father of the poet Edward Thomas who was killed in the Battle of Arras on 9 April 1917. They comprise a letter of condolence, 16 April 1917, from Capt. N. G. Brett James, a fellow student of Thomas's at Lincoln College (f. 12); and letters from the authors Arthur L. Salmon, Bristol (f. 13), and D. L. Kelleher, Dublin (f. 14), both dated 29 October 1917 and both prompted by Philip Thomas's letter to The Nation the previous week defending his son's reputation (see The Nation, 22.3 (20 October 1917), p. 95, for Thomas's letter, which was in response to an unfavourable review of his son's The Tenth Muse (London, 1917) in The Nation, 22.2 (13 October 1917), pp. 73-74).
