Letters from Cambridge University,

Letters from Gareth Vaughan Jones, mainly from Trinity College, Cambridge, 1926-1928, when he was a student there. They relate in some detail his activities and academic and social pursuits and give his impressions of his surroundings and his companions. He also comments on the activities of various student societies. Occasionally he gives news of his friends. There are also occasional references to items of national and international news, particularly political. He regularly enquires, too, about people and events at home in Barry and comments on the domestic life of the Jones family. There are a few references to relatives. There are also a few discussions of his future plans and aspirations. A small number of the earlier letters are written from the University of Strasbourg where Gareth Jones spent the academic year 1924-1925.
