Scope and content
A scrapbook, compiled [1901]-[1909], containing fifty-nine letters addressed to Osmond Williams, 1901-1903, and press cuttings mostly relating to him, 1901-1904, 1907, [1909].
The letters are mostly tipped in between leaves and contain a mixture of congratulations, acknowledgements, routine party business and constituency matters. The correspondents include cabinet ministers, Liberal party supporters and activists in Merioneth, and statesmen including Henry Campbell-Bannerman, 1901, 1903 (ff. 11, 13), Lord Rosebery, 1902 (f. 14), H. H. Asquith, 1902 (f. 17-18), A. J. Balfour, 1902 (f. 25), and David Lloyd George, [1903] (f. 63). The press cuttings relate to his Parliamentary and constituency work and include a colour portrait entitled 'The Champion of the Ladies', [1909] (p. 86). A group of cuttings, 1901-1904, relate to Lieut. Osmond Williams in South Africa (pp. 77-80).
