Printed article by George Ewart Evans titled 'Aspects of Oral Tradition'. [?Early 1970s: no footnote cites a work later than 1968.]

Printed article by George Ewart Evans titled 'A note on the anecdote', taken from Lore and Language, the journal of the Survey of Language and Folklore at the University of Sheffield. Source of article noted on first page in George Ewart Evans's hand. Undated.

Two copies of an article, [1971], by George Ewart Evans titled 'The Relevance of Oral Tradition', taken from unspecified printed source but identified in a footnote as the 'Presidential Address delivered to Section H (Anthropology) on 6 September 1971 at the Swansea Meeting of the British Association'. One copy of the article is inscribed by George Ewart Evans: 'I Jim a Nesta: gyda phob dymuniad da. [signed] George. 20.viij.71', i.e. Dr James Arthur (Jim) Davies, Principal of the Normal College, Bangor, and his wife Nesta, close friends of George Ewart Evans. Alongside footnote, also in Evans's hand and also, presumably, addressed to Dr Jim Davies and Nesta Davies, is the additional note: 'Please keep close till then [i.e. 6 September 1971, which has been underlined]. G'. The other copy of the article is inscribed, also by George Ewart Evans: 'I Gwen: gyda chofion gorau. Ewart' (date in footnote underlined here also, presumably by Evans); the correspondent being Gwen Yorath of Earl Soham, Suffolk, a friend of George Ewart and Florence Evans (see under heading Correspondence: General correspondence of George Ewart Evans).
