Undated letter from P. H. Thomas - possibly Philip Henry Thomas, [?uncle] of poet and writer Edward Thomas - to a 'Mr Rees'. The letter contains references to Edward Thomas and to other family members and botanical references to a plant called the 'Royal Fern'. According to a note which originally accompanied this sub-archive, the letter is dated 13 December 1950, the recipient is a 'Mrs Rees of Manorbier and the treasurer of the Anglo-Welsh Review' and the writer is Edward Thomas's 'niece', although neither the date of the letter nor the sender's relationship to Edward Thomas are apparent within the item. The recipient of the letter, however, is most likely Morwyth Rees of Manorbier, Pembrokeshire, who was indeed treasurer of arts magazine The Anglo-Welsh Review (see, for example: Maxwell Fraser Papers (https://archives.library.wales/index.php/maxwell-fraser-papers-2) within the National Library of Wales's collections under heading Correspondence, 1966; also https://historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/1607/ and https://www.huarchive.co/items/show/363.
