Scope and content
Some one hundred and five love letters and telegrams, 1926, from John Cowper Powys to his companion, Phyllis Playter. The majority of the letters were written during the course of Powys's lecture tours in the United States, while others describe a visit to England and contain accounts of meetings with members of his family and with the novelist Thomas Hardy (ff. 209 verso, 210, 215 verso-216, 219 verso).
Also included are one letter to Phyllis Playter from John Cowper Powys's sister-in-law, Alyse Gregory (f. 181), and two from his sister, Philippa ('Katie') Powys (ff. 197, 203).
