Comprise letters to Maurice Browne chiefly concerning the publication by the Samurai Press of their writings, particularly her books By many streams and From the shadow, and his The Stonefolds, On the threshold, and The web of life. From 1909 the letters are only from W. W. Gibson and deal with his writings; the promotion, publication, and performances of his work; and Browne's artistic criticism and friendship.

Also included are manuscripts and proof sheets for 3 works by him and 3 by her.
