Correspondence of W. G. Archer, [1943]-1944, 1974, comprising two letters, [November 1943] (f. 35), 4 January 1944 (ff. 37-38), from Lt Alun Lewis, [India], to Archer, [Bihar, India], discussing Indian poetry, himself and his ideas on poetry, and a corrected typescript draft, [November 1943], of Archer's reply to the first letter (f. 36); a letter, 27 June 1974, from Neil Sutherland, Lincoln College, Oxford, to Archer, [Hampstead], concerning the Alun Lewis letters (f. 39), and a typescript copy of Archer's reply, dated 30 June 1974 (f. 40).
Also included are carbon copy typescript copies, [?1974], of the Alun Lewis correspondence, presumably being copies of those sent by Archer to Sutherland (ff. 41-48). The Alun Lewis letters are apparently unpublished.

Papers of Charles Hamblett, [1942], relating to the pamphlet Call Wind to Witness: Poems by John Bayliss, Charles Hamblett, Alun Lewis and Emanuel Litvinoff (London, [1942]), edited by Hamblett, comprising a letter, 26 August 1942 (f. 18), and a note, [?September 1942] (f. 19), from Alun Lewis to Hamblett, concerning the choice of his poems for the volume, at a time when Lewis was on embarkation leave; and three letters, [1942], from Derek Sandford to Hamblett, concerning his prefatory note to the volume (ff. 20-22, 27-28), together with two manuscript drafts of the note, entitled 'Introduction: Notes in approach' (ff. 23-26) and 'Introduction: Notes in approach to four poets' (ff. 29-34). The recipient's name has been blacked out in each of the letters as well as in the first version of the introduction (f. 24).

Typescript notes, [?March 1941], by Spr Alun Lewis for three lectures on World Affairs, comprising Lecture I, 'Causes of the Present War' (ff. 1-6), Lecture II (original title 'How trade affects the problems of war and peace' crossed through) (ff. 7-11) and Lecture III (ff. 12-17). The lectures were given while Lewis was assigned to his Brigade's Education Office, and concerned the geopolitical background to the Second World War, the weaponisation of trade and the weaknesses of the League of Nations.
The first lecture appears to be the one infamously interrupted by Lewis's Colonel, accusing him of telling lies (see NLW, Alun Lewis Papers MS 20, ff. 56-58 and John Pikoulis, Alun Lewis: A Life (Bridgend, 1984), pp. 130-131), as suggested by a comment at the start of the second lecture that 'we finished, rather abruptly, last week' (f. 7). The second and third lectures, in particular, contain corrections, deletions and insertions in ink and pencil.

A copy of the poetry anthology pamphlet Call Wind to Witness: Poems by John Bayliss, Charles Hamblett, Alun Lewis and Emanuel Litvinoff (London: Russell Clarke at the sign of the Capriole, [1942]), edited by Hamblett, with a prefatory note by Derek Sandford.
The volume contains the Alun Lewis poems 'Love Letter' and 'Infantry' (pp. 10-11), which likely constitutes his first appearance in book form.

A letter, sent to the press, [February 1820], containing a poem, 'The Tribute of Wales' by Owen Jones, relating to the death of George III.
The poem was published in its entirety in the Morning Chronicle, 17 February 1820, p. 3, the day after the King’s funeral. A covering letter from the donor, 19 January 1957, is also included (f. i).

Holograph copies, 1952, of poems and other material by Frank Elijah Dudley, California, 1940-1952.
Photographs and envelopes are pasted onto the leaves.

A holograph copy, [c. 1823] (watermark 1821), of the first three verses, and accompanying descriptive passage, of the poem 'The Home of Taliessin' by Alaric A. Watts.
The poem was first published in Alaric A. Watts, Poetical Sketches... and Other Poems, 3rd edn with additional poems (London, 1824), pp. 155-157, where it comprised six verses; it was collected in Alaric A. Watts, Lyrics of the Heart: With Other Poems (London, 1851), pp. 275-276, as five verses (the fourth having been omitted). The poem was composed in 1819 (see Watts (1824), p. 157).

A copy, [19 cent., second ½], in an unknown hand, of 'Pen-y-gwryd', a poem of 14 verses, dated 21 August 1856, written by Charles Kingsley, Tom Taylor and Thomas Hughes.
The verses were entered by the three men in the visitors' book of the Pen-y-Gwryd Inn, Caernarvonshire, at the end of their stay in August 1856. The poem was published in Offerings at the foot of Snowdon; or, Breathings of Indolence at Pen-y-gwryd (Woburn, 1864). The text of the present copy includes a few variations from that published version and may have been copied directly from the visitors' book. The manuscript was apparently sent to J. L. Roget, whose name appears on f. 2 verso.
