Thirty-seven letters and two postcards, 1949-1950, to John Cowper Powys from his sister, Gertrude Powys, containing mostly personal and family news, with a reference to the death of 'Aunt Harriet' [?Phyllis Playter's aunt] in 1949. Enclosures comprise five letters to Phyllis Playter from Gertrude, one letter to Phyllis Playter from Gertrude's and John Cowper Powys's brother Littleton Charles Powys, one letter to Gertrude from her sister-in-law Elizabeth (wife of her brother William Ernest ('Willie') Powys), and one letter to Minnie Playter, Phyllis Playter's mother, from Gertrude. There is a painted-in ink drawing of flowers by Gertrude on f. 43 verso and an ink drawing, also by Gertrude, of her sister Lucy's house on f. 68.
