Scope and content
Autograph draft by Helen Thomas, [early 1920s], of a possibly unpublished lyrical work about her love of nature in general and of hills and mountains in particular.
References to Kent and the River Darent (ff. 44-45) show that the work was written while Thomas lived at Otford in Kent in the years after her husband's death. There are also references to the Sussex Downs (f. 45 recto-verso) and to her 1919 visit to Scotland (ff. 46-49 verso) and to Glen [?Ample, Perthshire] (f. 49) (see Helen Thomas, Time & Again, ed. by Myfanwy Thomas (Manchester, 1978), pp. 126-127).
