Nine letters (one partial) and one postcard, 1908, 1912, 1925, 1948 and undated, from John Cowper Powys to his son Littleton Alfred Powys, one of which is enclosed with a letter, 1947, from Littleton Alfred to his father; together with a poem "written by my Son for my Birthday Oct 8 1948" copied out by John Cowper Powys (f. 34). The contents of the letters include John Cowper Powys's responses both to Littleton Alfred's poetry and to the latter's decision to become a priest, references to the beginnings of John Cowper Powys's novel Wolf Solent (1929), and some disparaging remarks regarding the barrister and writer Philip Guedalla.
