Correspondence

David Jones was a prolific letter writer, and his correspondents were multifarious. He was part of a circle of young Catholic intellectuals, and was connected with artistic and literary circles, as well as a more aristocratic circle. He would often write many drafts of a letter before completing it, especially when writing to the press or to a scholar or critic. The correspondence deals with matters relating to religion, art, literature, history, Wales and more personal matters. -- The group comprises letters to David Jones from friends, acquaintances, publishers and art galleries; drafts letters from David Jones to friends, draft letters to the editors of newspapers; and copies of letters published in Dai Greatcoat : a self-portrait of David Jones in his letters, edited by René Hague.

Pitchford estate records (also known as the 'Pitchford MSS')

This catalogue of Pitchford estate records (also known as the 'Pitchford MSS') was prepared by the Historical Manuscripts Commission in 1963, when the records were still housed at Pitchford. In 1983 the National Library of Wales purchased all the items offered for sale by C.R.A. Grant and the owners of the estate. However, not all the papers listed by HMC in 1964 were in fact offered for sale. Nos 2-12 are now held in the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives, Kings College London; they comprise military correspondence, 1805-1903, and military miscellanea, 1811-[post-1945]; the Liddell Hart Centre's online description of them is on AIM25, <www.aim25.ac.uk>.
