Scope and Contents

Sylvia Thompson became friendly with the Grahams in the 1980s. From a nursing background, she became a great source of practical help to the couple during W S Graham`s last years, which were dogged by ill-health. 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.

Dates: 1982-1987.
