Photocopies (some text faint) of forty-seven letters (one apparently incomplete) and one postcard, 1945-1947, from John Cowper Powys to the poet Huw Menai (Huw Owen Williams). The letters include references to health matters, works in progress, and family news, including the death of Powys's wife Margaret and of his brother Littleton Charles Powys's wife Elizabeth Myers, both in 1947. Enclosures comprise a photocopy of a letter [?from one of Huw Menai's daughters to her mother] (f. 5), a photocopy of printed poems by Kenneth Hopkins as they appeared in 'The Grasshopper' (f. 26), and a photocopy of a letter to Huw Menai from 'Mam o Nedd', i.e. Winifred Coombe Tennant (ff. 47-50). Some of the letters are illustrated with Powys's ink drawings, which include caricatures of himself and of Huw Menai, the latter often depicted as a sea-serpent.
