Four foolscap pages, [1939], containing typescript copies of the poems 'It is the sinners' dust-tongued bell', 'How shall my animal', 'The tombstone told when she died' and 'A saint about to fall' by Dylan Thomas; his signature is inscribed in ink beneath each poem, and the typed titles, 'Three', 'Nine', 'Ten' and 'Twelve' respectively, have been crossed out and replaced with the heading 'Poem'. These copies may have been produced in preparation for The map of love (London, 1939), and appear to have been sent by Dylan Thomas to Thomas Taig for a proposed 'dramatic presentation' of Anglo-Welsh poetry at a London theatre in September 1939. Also included is a photocopy and photograph, [1953x1990], of the first page of a letter from Dylan Thomas to Thomas Taig, 23 August 1939; together with photocopies of poems in his hand, typescript copies, and printed copies of poems, [1939x1990], intended for the production, by various authors, including Glyn Jones and Keidrych Rhys (one containing amendments by the author).
