Scope and Contents

Proof copy of MRJ's Letters to a Friend, ed. Gwendolyn McBryde (Arnold, 1955), with Sir Shane Leslie's ex-libris on the upper wrapper. The volume is copiously annotated by Sir Shane, mostly with corrections of GMcB's misreadings and insertions of the passages she excised. He has stuck into it the following items: two sheets of (probably a single) letter from GMcB to James McBryde, 6 February 1903 (one sheet tipped in at the front, the other on the verso of the contents page); a letter from Jane McBryde to Sir Shane, '18.xi' (tipped in to recto of contents page), a number of cuttings from the Annual Report of the Council of King's College recording gifts of MRJ material by Sir Shane, a photograph of Gwendolyn and James McBryde sitting on a windowsill, and a cutting from Country Life (issue of 21 Feb 1963) on the last page and inside the lower wrapper.
