Scope and Contents

This folder contains eleven manuscripts and typescripts, some with copied poetry (including Rudyard Kipling) as well as original work (some of which is discussed in corresponding diaries during the drafting process). A handwritten account on the recto of an envelope documents the abuse Helen suffered from her husband "taken straight from Helen's lips" on Nov 30, 1921 as "testimony to be used in case of divorce" as well as a 1938 three page account of her own abuse by longtime partner Roy Hall; and a manuscript letter apparently imagining a post divorce conversation with Philip.
