Letters to and from William Alwyn.
The principal family correspondents for WA were his two wives, Olive Pull and Doreen Mary Carwithen; his sons Jonathan and Nicholas Alwyn; his grandson and granddaughter Richard and Sarah Alwyn (Jonathan’s children); his brother James “Jim” Smith and his sister Vida Slinn; Barbara Jackson nee Carwithen - Doreen Carwithen’s sister, and her son Mark. The bulk of the correspondence between Olive and William is from the 1920s and 1930s during their engagement and from the period when William was travelling in Australia and Canada, while working for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music as an examiner. The catalogue does not generally distinguish between letters and other forms of correspondence, such as postcards, telegrams and greeting cards.
