Comprises an uncatalogued residue of papers donated by Lady White and Tristan Jones in 1984 (7-11).

This second group of Thomas Jones's papers was deposited at NLW by Lady White and Mr Tristan Jones after the main collection had been catalogued. The deposit was turned into a donation in 1984. The system of cataloguing used for the additional papers has been based upon that used by Professor Gwyn A. Williams for the main collection. A double lettering system has been used to facilitate cross referencing; thus AA equates to the original class A, CC to the original class C, etc. It has been necessary to create another class called Misc for miscellaneous items which have not been added to the original class structure. In addition WW 32 is a group of miscellaneous correspondence which was discovered after the rest of the general correspondence had been catalogued. Some of the papers in Group 2 have been bound in volumes, others have been placed in files or boxed. This list supersedes the temporary list compiled in 1985. The permission of the Librarian is required to see classes AA, CC, EE, GG.

Nos 1-61. Correspondence, memoranda and papers relating to the 1941 Committee. The 1941 Committee, with J. B. Priestley as Chairman and G. Raymond Gauntlett as Secretary, was launched on 4 Dec. 1940, with the support of Edward Hulton. It was a group of 'Progressives' who organised to defeat reaction and to mobilise support for social transformation during the War, winning a 'People's Peace' by a 'People's War'. It had two forms of activity, public and 'conspirational' - seeking to influence policy by personal contact. Membership was restricted. In August 1942, after members had, as The Nine Point Group, intervened in the Wallasey and Maldon by-elections, the 1941 Committee merged with Forward March to create the Common Wealth movement. The papers are a rather slight collection of minutes and memoranda, with some correspondence. A memorandum by P.E.P. - What are we fighting for? (10 Oct. 1939) was filed by Thomas Jones with the 1941 Committee papers and is included as Nos 1-2. Index: L.
