Cuttings from magazines, fair typescript copies, fair and worked typescript and autograph drafts of the poems collected in Fidelities (London, 1968). All but one of the poems in the volume are represented, by numbers of drafts up to twenty. Also included are drafts of the preliminaries of the volume (ff. 4-9) and a letter from Gwen Watkins (f. 3) concerning these papers. Drafts of a few poems in Fidelities are among the Vernon Watkins Papers in the British Museum, as Mrs Watkins's letter explains. A contents list shows the number of drafts of each poem, as well as locating them. Some of the drafts are dated. There are five short poems not included in Fidelities, cf. contents list.
