Typescript copies of twenty-one letters, 1893-1910, from John Cowper Powys to his mother Mary Cowper Powys. References include John Cowper Powys's betrothal and subsequent marriage to Margaret Alice Lyon in 1896, his lecturing tours in the United States and elsewhere, and his own and his brother Llewelyn's health. Enclosures comprise two letters, 1893, to Mary Cowper Powys from her daugher Gertrude Powys, and a poem, 1902, by John Cowper Powys entitled 'June 1902', marked 'For the Wilsonian' (f. 20). Together with one other (undated) letter written in Latin from John Cowper Powys to his mother, apparently while the former was a pupil at Sherborne School. Notes relating to the two letters of 1893 are typed at the top of each, presumably by the copier.
