Letters of W S Graham and his wife Nessie to Sylvia Thompson; with photographs and artwork.
Scope and Contents
Sylvia Thompson became friendly with the Grahams in the 1980s.

The great affection in which she was held by the Grahams is evident in the letters, and in the various gifts of photographs and drawings.
