Letter, 7 January 1981, from A. J. Sylvester, Corsham, Wiltshire, to Miss Ann Parry. Describes his many afflictions, including cataract. Would like to write a book based on his experiences and his time with Sir Maurice Hankey and Lloyd George. Writer played a key part in the research for Lloyd George's War Memoirs during the 1930's. Much resents that Countess Lloyd-George chose Malcolm Thompson to write the official biography of Lloyd George and double-crossed Sylvester in so doing. Has a very high regard for Jennifer Longford today - 'She is a wonderful woman now, ... She is worth ten times that of Frances'. Frances left no more than £11,000 when she died in 1972 although she was the widow of Lloyd George. He refused to support her plan to establish an agricultural college in north Wales, and the setting up of the Lloyd George Museum at Llanystumdwy was due mainly to the efforts of the recipient. His health and the court case in which he is presently involved.

The text of an interview given by A. J. Sylvester to Ruth Nixon, c. 1984-89. During the course of the interview he reflects mainly on the long relationship between Lloyd George and Frances Stevenson, the role of Dame Margaret, and the recent BBC television series on Lloyd George.

Letter, 16 February 1983, from A. J. Sylvester to Miss Ann Parry. The radio programme The Principal Private Secretary is to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 the following Tuesday. Would welcome her opinions on it. His health and afflictions.

Most of the letters were written by Miss Parry in her capacity as curator of the Lloyd George Museum at Llanystumdwy, Cricieth. They discuss the layout of the museum grounds, the management of adjacent properties and the delineation of their boundaries, the maintenance of the gardens, and the organization of exhibitions and catalogues. There are many references to attendance figures and to ways of attracting increased numbers of visitors and to meetings of the museum management committee. Some letters refer to events held to commemorate Lloyd George.

Miscellaneous printed items, mainly acquired by Frances, the most significant being a pass to the Paris Peace Conference, 1919; a ticket to admit Frances to the members' gallery of the House of Commons, 9 July 1935; Frances's National Registration Identity Card, 1943-1947; and a pass to admit Frances to the Palace of Westminster, 1944. Other items of some interest include the Order of Service at Ramsay MacDonald's funeral service at Westminster Abbey, 26 November 1937; and a copy of Frances Stevenson, The Private Secretary.

The fonds comprises a substantial group of letters and papers, 1911-1972, acquired by Frances as private secretary to Lloyd George, including some business papers, notebooks of reminiscences and printed items.

The material in sub-fonds G was loaned by Mrs Ruth Nixon of Camberwell to the National Library of Wales to be digitised in March 2013 and subsequently returned to her a few months later. Some of this material was subsequently purchased by NLW in 2017 and catalogued as sub-fonds H.
