Sixty-seven letters, 1912-1939, nearly all in German, mostly from Berta von Schiltberg, Munich, to the sisters Lilian and Violet Reeks at Appleton Manor, Berkshire, and Oxford, and later to Violet at Bristol and Monmouth. Schiltberg ran a pension (boarding house) for young ladies in Munich and the correspondence follows the two girls' stay with her.
The letters reflect Schiltberg's active and happy life before 1914 with many references to Munich high society and the music scene. There are numerous references to acquaintances such as the pianist Anna Hirzel-Langenhan (items 3-66 passim) and the composer and conductor Ludwig Berberich (items 8, 38, 43, 45-66 passim). Schiltberg writes on the social and economic misery in Germany during the First World War, the financial crisis of the 1920s and 1930s and her own increasing poverty. The post-war political upheavals and the disappointments and confusion of the time are also described (item 53). A frequent social guest at this time was a Herr Drexler (items 43-53 passim), possibly to be identified as Anton Drexler, founder of the German Workers' Party (DAP). Among Schiltberg's tenants from 1918 to 1923 was Leutnant Rudolf Hess, the future Nazi Party deputy leader, who is mentioned in two letters, dated 16 May 1919 (item 54) and 29 December 1935 (item 63); his future wife also lived at the pension. Six group and individual photographs, 1915-1919, mostly identifiable, are also included (items 38, 41, 44, 54).

A volume, [1850]-1855 (watermarks 1849, 1850), containing pen, ink and wash drawings of ancient buildings and archaeological remains in Anglesey with accompanying text. The volume appears to be the work of Helen Spode (née Heywood), and also her husband, Josiah Spode of Hawkesyard Hall, Staffordshire, and of Plas Gwyn and Beaumaris.
The layout consists typically of a page of text in black and red ink and an illuminated initial in Celtic style, with a drawing on the facing page (thirty-five in total); additional drawings often form vignettes in the text. A few of the drawings are initialled 'H.S.' (ff. 12, 31 verso, 39, 41) and 'J.S.' (ff. 10, 33). Subjects include various cromlechs, churches and castles; the majority are in the east of the island, including Beaumaris (ff. 1 verso-13) and Penmon Priory (ff. 14 verso-26). The volume also includes a single parchment leaf (f. 67) containing a copy of the illumination on f. 8 verso of the Bangor Pontifical (now in Bangor University, Welsh Library, Special Collections, Cathedral Collection).

Pedigree and achievement, 1598, of John Price [or Pryse] of Gogerddan, Cardiganshire, with fifteen coats of arms, all emblazoned and painted, compiled by Thomas Jones of Fountain Gate, Tregaron, Cardiganshire.
The pedigree consists of the achievement of arms in the centre and the arms of Price's male ancestors arranged around the border, and is an example of 'Style 5' in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), p. 12. The pedigree is traced from the tenth-century 'Klothian ap Gwydhere' [Cloddien ap Gwrydr Hir] and his wife Morfudd, daughter of Owain ap Tythwalch. Although ascribed to Jones, the pedigree was written by one of a number of scribes employed by him (see Michael Powell Siddons, 'Welsh Pedigree Rolls - Additions and Corrections', National Library of Wales Journal, 32 (2001-2), 433-42 (pp. 433-4), and Daniel Huws, 'Twm Siôn Cati', Carmarthenshire Antiquary, 45 (2009), 39-45 (pp. 40-41, 45)).
