Photocopies of partial and undated letters, some with very faint text, from John Cowper Powys to his brother Littleton Charles Powys, containing mostly personal news and reflections. There are references to some of John Cowper Powys's works eg Wolf Solent (1929), Rabelais (1948) and Porius (1951), to Dinah White's role as amenuensis for John Cowper Powys's son Littleton Alfred at the end of the latter's life, and to the deaths of the writer Virginia Woolf in 1941 and of the American poet Edgar Lee Masters in 1950. Some of the letters are illustrated with John Cowper Powys's ink drawings, which include self-caricatures and representations of plants.
