Letters from Lucy Penny

Thirty-one letters, 1969, to Phyllis Playter from John Cowper Powys's sister, Lucy Penny. The letters contain mainly family news, including the health issues of Lucy's brother, William Ernest (Willie) Powys, and the decision to amputate his leg, together with references to members of the Powys circle of friends and acquaintances, including the death of writer and poet Valentine Ackland in November 1969.
