Letters from Lettice [Mrs H. A. L.] Fisher

The letters,[c. 1925]-1944, which are very difficult to decipher and comprehend, contain mainly personal, family and domestic news, with some references to academic and political life. The file also includes the memorial service card for Lettice Fisher (1875-1956).

Fisher, Lettice, 1875-1956

Letters from Sir William Beveridge and Janet Beveridge

Many of the letters give domestic and family news and arrange meetings. Some letters refer to the possibility of D. Lloyd George writing a foreword to Sir William Beveridge's book on Peace, and one, dated 28 December 1954, discusses Frank Owen's Tempestuous Journey: Lloyd George, his life and times (London, 1954).

Printed Items

Miscellaneous printed items, mainly acquired by Frances, the most significant being a pass to the Paris Peace Conference, 1919; a ticket to admit Frances to the members' gallery of the House of Commons, 9 July 1935; Frances's National Registration Identity Card, 1943-1947; and a pass to admit Frances to the Palace of Westminster, 1944. Other items of some interest include the Order of Service at Ramsay MacDonald's funeral service at Westminster Abbey, 26 November 1937; and a copy of Frances Stevenson, The Private Secretary.

Press Cuttings

Miscellaneous press cuttings, mainly of political interest, most relating to Lloyd George or to members of the Lloyd George family. The file includes a scrapbook of press cuttings dating from 1940 relating to the death of Colonel T. F. Tweed. Many of the cuttings concern Frances's life and activities after Lloyd George's death in 1945.

Correspondence,

Stray letters, messages, cards and postcards, 1916-91, acquired or collected by Jennifer Longford. All are connected with the Lloyd George family in some way, but there is very little or no relationship between the individual items within the group.

Memorabilia,

Stray memorabilia, 1900-2008, collected by Ruth Nixon, mainly inherited from her mother Jennifer Longford. Many derive from Lloyd George or Frances Stevenson. They include legal documents, reminiscences and memoirs, autograph books, cartoons, printed items and press cuttings of especial interest.
