Enclosures include name and address labels and cards (including an inscribed address card of Raymond Garlick), memoranda, press cuttings (including obituary notices), photographs, business receipts and a typescript letter, 1971, to Phyllis Playter from Sarah J.

Letters of John Cowper Powys to Evan Roberts. The following letters have been added to the original 1949 file (246/1-28) from subsequent donations: 246/29 (John C. Powys, 7 Cae Coed, Corwen, 19 Oct. 1938) from the Sept. 1951 donation; 246/30-59 (Aug. 1937-Oct. 1952) from the 1952 donation; 246/60-72 (Jan. 1941-Nov. 1953) from the Oct. 1955 donation; and 246/73-81 (Nov. 1941-Sept. 1952) and 246/82 (Phyllis Playter, 1 Waterloo, Blaenau Ffestiniog, 8 Oct. 1955) from the Aug. 1956 donation.

Two letters, 1955, from John Cowper Powys and one, 1962, written on his behalf by Frederick Davies, to W. Disspain of Kingston-on-Thames, tipped in a copy of the writer's The Art of Happiness (London, 1935), inscribed by him for Mr Disspain.
The inscription, dated 9 February 1955, on the fly leaf, consists of a seven line quotation, in Greek with English translation, from the Iliad. A notice of Powys' death from The Times, 18 [recte 19] June 1963, is pasted onto the same leaf.

Sixty autograph letters, 1944-1945, 1953-1962, from John Cowper Powys to his typist Mrs Dorothy May Meech, Dorchester (ff. 1-24, 34-37, 40, 43-68, 71-72, 74-77), together with ten letters, 1955-1956, 1960-1961, from Powys's partner Phyllis Playter to Meech (ff. 25-33, 38-39, 41-42, 69-70, 73). The letters mainly concern Powys's works in progress, manuscripts sent to Meech for typing, Mrs Meech's health and that of Powys's relatives, as well as childhood recollections of Weymouth and references to house-hunting in Blaenau Ffestiniog prior to Powys and Playter's move there from Corwen in 1955. Playter's letters are evidently written at times when Powys was too ill or tired to correspond himself. A self-caricature in ink by Powys is on f. 53 verso. Also included is a photograph of John Cowper Powys inscribed to Mrs Meech and dated 20 December 1950 (f. 7).

Fifty-one letters, 1937-1955, from John Cowper Powys to Iorwerth Peate.
Most of the letters were published in John Cowper Powys, Letters 1937-54, ed. by Iorwerth C. Peate (Cardiff, 1974).

A copy of a typescript account of the love affair between John Cowper Powys and Frances Wilkinson (née Gregg), incorporating extracts from their correspondence, [c. 1912], as well as from the letters of Louis Wilkinson, Ezra Pound and others. The work was compiled with a view to publication by Oliver Marlow Wilkinson, son of Frances and Louis Wilkinson.
