In Parenthesis: seinnyessit e gledyf ym penn mameu (1937) is an epic war poem which deals with the experiences of a soldier in the First World War . It is based on the period David Jones spent in France between December 1915 and July 1916. He began writing in 1927 and it was virtually complete in 1933 when he suffered a breakdown. It was published in 1937 by Faber, and was regarded by T. S. Eliot as 'a work of genius'. He was awarded the Hawthornden prize for it in 1938. The first radio production of In Parenthesis was transmitted in 1942. In 1961 a limited edition of In Parenthesis, with an introduction by T. S. Eliot, was published by Faber.

See Daniel Huws' introduction to the proposed catalogue of In Parenthesis (NLW ex 2393) for explanation of development of text, pagination and arrangement. See also a note by Harman Grisewood in the same folder on how the manuscript drafts were originally in two boxes.

Letter books and bundles of loose letters containing official and some private correspondence mainly from, but also, to Clive, relating to his life in India and England, 1752-1759,1765-1774. For the most part there is no clear division between either the public and private or the Indian and European aspects of the correspondence. Owing to the predominance of the public correspondence, it is Clive's service in the East India Company and, in the wider context, the history of British rule in India, rather than his domestic and private concerns, that provide the main subject matter. The group also contains indexes and registers of corespondence, and letters written in Persian, 1752-1773, almost all addressed to Clive, relating mainly to military and financial affairs in India and to relationship with and between native Indian rulers.

Accounts of Clive's personal and official finances both in India and England, buy mainly in the former. The distinction, however, is not always clear since both his foreign and domestic transactions and the different types of accounts are sometimes represented separately and sometimes intermixed.
