Scope and content
The series contains personal letters written from the Edwards family's various local homes at Llanuwchllyn, giving family, domestic and local news, and also referring to national events, and to O.M. Edwards's wide-ranging activities and pursuits. Many of the letters refer to the activities of the children Ifan and Haf, and to other members of their families. The tensions and problems within the marriage are ever close to the surface because of the long enforced absences, but there is also clear evidence of a deep bond and affection between husband and wife.
