Diary of Edward Thomas, 12 December 1900-20 October 1901, recording details of books read, letters and articles written, payments for published work, meetings with friends and other personal notes, together with passages of description and personal reflection.

First World War diary of the poet and essayist Edward Thomas, 1 January-8 April 1917, containing descriptions of army life in England and France, observations on the natural world, and brief accounts of letters sent and received. It also contains the only known draft of Thomas's last poem, 'The sorrow of true love' (f. 29), dated 13 January 1917. The covers and leaves of the diary are heavily creased, suggesting that it may have been in Thomas's pocket when he was killed by a shell on the first day of the Battle of Arras on 9 April 1917. For an edited version of the diary's text, see The Collected Poems of Edward Thomas, ed. by R. George Thomas (Oxford, 1978), pp. 460-481. Three items found loose inside the diary's covers, including a draft of Thomas's poem, 'The Lane' [1916], have been filed as NLW MS 24030iiA.

The first part of a chronicle of world history from the creation to the year 1552, compiled from various printed and written sources and from personal knowledge by Elis Gruffydd, 'a soldier of Calais'. This part, which is imperfect, deals with the six ages of world history from the Creation to the Norman Conquest of England. The manuscript is bound as two volumes, of which this is the first.

A cup and saucer resting on a book, possibly titled 'Views of Wales.' In the cup is an arrangement of flowers including Lilies of the Valley. The corners have been trimmed to the extent that the print is almost octagonal. It is mounted on a pale pink page. The components of the scene, but not the arrangement, are very similar to photo album 3900, print 23.

A small bunch of primrose flowers and leaves placed in a coffee cup. The cup, which has a pastoral scene with a man carrying a child on his shoulders followed by a second child, is sitting in a matching saucer. The saucer has in turn been placed on a leather bound copy of 'Views in Wales I'. The corners of the print have been cropped slightly. The print is mounted on blue paper. This is a variant of Llyfr Ffoto 3900, photograph 10.

An arrangement of water lily blooms, seemingly on a small wooden table. Print has had the corners trimmed to give it a lozenge shape and been mounted on pink paper.

A small glass trumpet vase containing five narcissi in bloom. The print has been trimmed to an oval shape and mounted on brown paper.

An oblong print, faded around the top, bottom and left hand sides. The print appears to be underexposed and shows three hyacinths, two set farther back on the left. The hyacinth in the foreground has been placed next to another, unidentified pot plant. There is no indication that this photograph has ever been glued into the album.

A well dressed man seated and reading, photographed in profile from the waist up. The corners have been clipped to produce a lozenge shape.

An arrangement of flowers in an obscured vessel. In the background can be seen a picture hanging on a wall. The print has been crudely trimmed on all four sides giving an oblong shape. There is no evidence that this photograph was ever glued into the album.
