Additional Description

Container Summary

Contains correspondence concerning DJ's estate - @ TLS 12/6/74 to HG from David Jenkins, librarian - "I do not know if you are aware of the discussion which David and I had concerning his papers. Our failure to achieve the desired solution for both of us was his fear of legal documents which required a personal signture. I earnestly hope that the National Library of Wales will be able to acquire his manuscripts and letters, plus one or two of his paintings."
