http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191850715

This collection centers around the correspondence and related papers of three important and long-standing friends of Harman Grisewood: the poet and artist David Jones; the printer and artist Rene Hague; and the writer Christopher Sykes, biographer of Evelyn Waugh. The correspondence relating to Jones and Hague, in particular, reflects the social, literary and artistic circles in which they and their mutual friend, Harman Grisewood, moved. Among the correspondents are Thomas F. Burns, editor of 'The tablet'; the poet T.S. Eliot; the artist, Philip Hagreen; Welsh writer and nationalist, Saunders Lewis; archaeologist and historian, Nancy K. Sandars; linguist and poet, Walter Shewring; and sculptor, John Skelton. Other correspondents include personal friends, solicitors, and government officials such as Sir Anthony Bevir, Sir Hugh Fraser, Sir Kenneth Clark, and the Countess of Moray, all of whom were friends and benefactors of David Jones. The correspondence about David Jones includes letters from many well-known Jones scholars, including David Blamires, William Blissett, Thomas Dilworth, Arthur Giardelli, Nicolete Gray, and Paul Hills.
