The papers include notes on language and style, manuscript and printed poems, some notes on contributions made by Hulme to The New Age and a number of letters written to Michael Roberts whose biography of Hulme appeared in 1938. Among these are several letters from Ezra Pound and Faber and Faber, which are actually written by T S Eliot as he was on the editorial board at Faber at that time.
