Two bundles of poetry written by Gladys Skelton [later Bendit], as follows:
1) ‘Love in Bloomsbury: A Modern Tale - Prologue’, 38pp manuscript, dated 1909 at the end but this has been crossed out;
2) ‘Spring in a London Office: A June Song in London’, containing loose pages of manuscript and typescript poetry which may or may not relate to the title on the cover. Some of the titles are the same as some of those in GCPP Williams 2/6 and may have been intended for an anthology under this title - they include: Tragedy, Epilogue, To, To My Friends, The Middle Years: To H.C.M., Priapus, Winged Words, Warning, First Love, and Street Music.
The file also contains cuttings, as follows:
