Exercise book once belonging to Edward Thomas, containing autograph drafts, 1914, of two of his earliest poems 'The Mountain Chapel' and 'Birds' Nests', together with a draft, [1915], of 'House and Man'.
'The Mountain Chapel' material, dated 17 December 1914 (f. 2), seems to consist of an initial draft (ff. 1 verso-2, 3, 4), a second draft (ff. 5-6) with further revisions to the opening section only (f. 4 verso), and a final draft (ff. 2 verso, 3 verso) which closely corresponds to the published versions; it was first published in his Last Poems (London, 1918), pp. 62-63. The 'Birds' Nests' material, dated 18 December 1914 (on ff. 7, 8), consists of an early draft (f. 6 verso), a second draft (f. 7) and a final draft (f. 8); the latter is very close to the poem as first published in his Poems (London, 1917), p. 54, with only three substantive variants (lines 3, 7 and 15). The single, revised, draft of 'House and Man' (f. 7 verso) closely corresponds to the other known autograph copy in London, British Library Add. MS 44990, and the version printed in Last Poems (London, 1918), p. 90, except for the omission here of the last line-and-a-half ('…veering about, / A magpie like a weathercock in doubt'). 'House and Man' was first published, with a few variants, in Root and Branch, 1.4 (1915), 59, making it (jointly with 'Intervals') his first poem to see print. In The Collected Poems of Edward Thomas, ed. by R. George Thomas (Oxford, 1978) 'The Mountain Chapel' is poem No. 10 (pp. 44-47), 'Birds' Nests' is No. 9 (pp. 42-43) and 'House and Man' is No. 33 (pp. 104-105); the dating of the first two in the present manuscript suggests the conjectured chronological arrangement of that volume (and also Edward Thomas, The Annotated Collected Poems, ed. by Edna Longley (Tarset, 2008)), is incorrect.

Notes on Gareth Jones's travels in Germany. Describes some of the individuals whom he met there including an interview with Albion Ross, a New York Times correspondent newly arrived in Berlin. It also includes an interview with Reinhard Haferkorn, identified in Jones's later newspaper article as "a German professor who had great experience of foreign travel". Even though the inside front cover is dated June 1, 1934, the material included in this diary notebook corresponds with Western Mail articles written in the first week of June 1933 so parts of the notebook may have been written at different times.

Describes Gareth Jones's experiences in the Dutch East Indies and Singapore.

Notes, addresses and interviews related to the Soviet Union, mostly in French. At the start of the notebook there are notes including a reference and instructions to go to Kharkoff from Samuel N. Harper, a Russia expert who had returned from USSR in late October 1932 and who met Sir Bernard Pares and Jones at an RIIA meeting on December 14, 1932. It is believed that the notes were immediately after this meeting. The remainder of the notebook dates from July 1933 and was written in Paris. According to Ray Gamache this diary notebook is actually a very important one in that it establishes with documentation who persuaded Jones to undertake his 1933 trips to Germany and the Soviet Union for his newspaper series, "A Welshman Looks at Europe."
