A composite text made of the extent of the castle and honour of Denbigh taken by Hugh de Beckele, 1334, being a transcript by Frederic Seebohm of British Museum Harleian MS 3632, ff. 1-48 and Maitland Library, All Souls' College, Oxford MS ff. 165-287. From f. 233 (NLW MS 17304E) onwards, the text was transcribed from Colonel Howard's manuscript. The text is written on the recto only and NLW MS 17304E is a direct continuation of NLW MS 17303E. Pasted in on the frontispiece is a letter, 1894, from the Clarendon Press, Oxford to Frederic Seebohm which relates to the publication of a facsimile of the Denbigh manuscript.
There are some annotations in pencil and red ink throughout both volumes and some notes in a different hand from that of the scribe inserted loose (NLW MS 17303E: f. 29; NLW MS 17304E: ff. 268, 273, 319).

The file comprises correspondence, 1951-1955, between Dr Thomas Jones and the Oxford University Press relating mainly to the publication of A Diary with Letters, 1931-1950 (1955).

The file comprises papers, [1971]-1974, 1976 and 1986-1987, relating to The Beach of Falesá, libretto by Glyn Jones, based on a short story by R. L. Stevenson, and music by Alun Hoddinott. The opera was commissioned by the Welsh National Opera Company and published by the Oxford University Press (London, 1974). The file contains manuscript and typescript drafts of the libretto, with synopses of the work, and a copy of the manuscript vocal score (possibly in the hand of Alun Hoddinott). Also included are manuscript and typescript drafts of lyrics for songs, [c. 1973], together with other related papers. In addition the file contains correspondence, 1973-1974, mostly between Glyn Jones and the Oxford University Press, with letters from Roy Bohana (3), Alun Hoddinott (2), Alan Frank, Oxford University Press (11), and A. G. Prys-Jones. A number of drafts are written on papers pertaining to the Welsh Arts Council and drafts of other works by Glyn Jones.
