Letters to Edna Wholey, 1947-1951.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122385743

The collection consists primarily of correspondence from Ted Hughes to Edna Wholey from ca. 1947-1951. Although the collection contains a few pieces of Hughes' early writing, it is mainly comprised of his letters to Wholey while he was performing his National Service in the Royal Air Force. These letters are dated using the available dates for his period of military service. They contain stories of his experiences in the Royal Air Force, his yearning for home and family, and his affection for Edna. The last letter in the collection contains a poem Hughes wrote for Edna and her husband in honor of their wedding, although she recounts that he was opposed to the marriage.
