Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1981-82 Disgrifiad / Description A brief description of this bequest appeared in last year's Annual Report. It consists of the manuscripts and papers of Maxwell Fraser (1902-80), authoress and travel writer, and of her husband, Edgar Phillips (`Trefin', 1889-1962), to be known at the testator's request as the `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' and the `Trefin Archdderwydd Cymru Bequest'. The `Maxwell Fraser Bequest' is by far the larger group and contains correspondence ; diaries with detailed entries, 1933-80, and a journal of a tour of Poland in 1930; drafts and typescripts of books, articles, and broadcast scripts; notes and material relating to the testator's researches in connection with these works including a large group relating to Lord and Lady Llanover and the Hall family ; circulars, newsletters and correspondence relating to the many societies of which the testator was a member (the Cambrian Archaeological Association, the International Arthurian Society, Kilvert Society, Offa's Dyke Association, P.E.N., Sherlock Holmes Society of London and other societies which reflect her interest in literature, history and archaeology, music and Celtic matters). There is a substantial amount of correspondence (letters received and copies of replies), much of it connected with the preparation of the testator's many books, articles and guides, and with her work preparing publicity material for the Great Western Railway and British Railways (Western Region) (including Holiday Haunts, 1929-62). The greater part is arranged in chronological order but some has been retained in files relating to particular books (mainly concerning Wales), to her research concerning the Hall family, and to the societies of which she was a member. The small group of papers relating to her parents contains letters from the testator including some written from Sweden in 1937-8. From 1948 the correspondence is largely relating to Wales and there is a wide range of Welsh correspondents. There is also a small but interesting group of letters to the testator's uncle Lovat Fraser (1871-1926), the prominent journalist and author of India under Curzon and after (1911). It includes letters from Lord Curzon, Lord Fisher, Lord French (with two letters from W. W. Asquith to Sir John French in 1914), Lord Northcliffe, Earl Roberts and Lord Rothermere. (Maxwell Fraser Bequest). The `Trefin Archdderwydd Cymru Bequest' is a much smaller group of manuscripts, papers and letters. It contains poetry and prose compositions ; a few sermons and adjudications by Trefin ; notes relating to Welsh literature and history and to prominent Monmouthshire men, in particular research relating to Aneurin Jones (`Aneurin Fardd', 1822-1904) and Edmund Jones (1702-93); letters relating mainly to the period 1950-62 but including a group of letters of congratulation on his winning the chair at the Wrexham National Eisteddfod in 1933; letters, scrapbooks and other papers relating to the National Eisteddfod, the Gorsedd of Bards and the Cornish Gorsedd; diaries containing very few entries, 1940, 1947-9, 1951-7, 1960-2; notes and letters relating to his family, including the Bateman family of co. Pembroke; and Trefin's reminiscences (in Welsh) with an English translation. The obituaries and tributes published after Trefin's death have been placed with the biographical material together with the letters of sympathy and related correspondence received by his widow, the correspondence relating to his biography by Brinley Richards: Cofiant Trefin (1963), and an English translation in manuscript of the biography.
