Vaz Dias (to/from others)

The correspondence consists of handwritten, typescript, carbon copy typescript, and photocopied letters and postcards between Rhys and family, friends, agents, publishers, and colleagues, and is arranged alphabetically by surname, business name or institution, each in a chronological sequence. Predominant correspondents include Eliot Bliss (dating from 1937-1978); Peter Burton (dating from 1969-1970); Andre Deutsch (1963-1986); Joan Forman (1968-1975); Olwyn Hughes (1965-1977); Peggy Kirkaldy (1931-1978); Sonia Orwell (1964-1976); Robert Herbert Ronson (1968-1975); Phyllis Smith Smyser (1936-1982); Oliver Stoner aka E. Morchard Bishop (1939-1977); Selma Vaz Dias (1949-1974); and Francis Wyndham (1957-1978). Correspondents such as Andre Deutsch constitute a subseries in that the correspondence within it is arranged in its own alphabetical sequence. In the case of individuals such as Selma Vaz Dias and Francis Wyndham, any correspondence from them to people other than Rhys is arranged alphabetically following their letters to Rhys. The preponderance of correspondence relating to the publishing firm Andre Deutsch, Ltd. was not originally a part of the Rhys collection but was removed from the Andre Deutsch Archive (also housed in University of Tulsa, Department of Special Collections, McFarlin Library). Any item removed from the Deutsch Archive or from the Francis Wyndham Addenda and filed elsewhere bears the initials "AD" or "FW" respectively, at the top right-hand corner so that its provenance will be retained.
