Letters to Sally Phillips

Undated poem in Welsh addressed to Siân Phillips' mother Sally Phillips on the family's removing from Alltwen in the Swansea Valley to Cwmllynfell, a village now situated within Neath Port Talbot county borough (note in Siân Phillips' hand reads 'To my mother - Sally Phillips a poem written by ? in Alltwen village and given to her when she left Alltwen to go to live in Cwmllynfell'); letter (incomplete), 1962, to Siân Phillips' mother Sally Phillips from Joan Inkin, a former schoolmistress of Siân Phillips, sending condolences on the death of Sally Phillips' husband David Phillips, father of Siân Phillips (letter annotated by Siân Phillips: 'Joan Inkin after Daddy's Death'); and an undated poem in Welsh by J. Meirion Evans, signed 'Meirion', addressed to Sally Phillips on what appears to have been her eightieth birthday (l. 12 reads: 'Aeth pedwar ugain mlynedd, do, yn rhwydd' (= Eighty years have easily slipped by), which would date the poem to around 1983).
