Twenty-four letters and six telegrams, [1921], 1923, 1925, 1928-31, 1954, 1957 and undated, to Phyllis Playter from her partner, John Cowper Powys, which include a letter dated 8 May 1954 stating that Powys transferred "all the Manuscripts I possess to your [Phyllis Player's] own use". Three of the letters are illustrated with ink drawings by Powys, and enclosed with one letter is a note to Phyllis Playter from Violet Powys, wife of Powys's brother Theodore. Many of the letters include notes by Powys biographer Morine Krissdottir, mainly relating to the dating of the material. Also included are (ff. 79-80) notes by John Cowper Powys found in Phyllis Playter's handbag after her death; an accompanying note by Morine Krissdottir states that there was "no indication of when or why he [Powys] wrote [them]", although the quality of the script suggests that they were written towards the end of Powys's life.
