These papers are composed of correspondence, a short story, and manuscripts created by Pamela Frankau. Most of the correspondence is addressed to Mrs. d'Arch Smith, who is most likely Frankau's sister Ursula (Frankau) d'Arch Smith. The letters describe personal events in Frankau's life while summering in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts in 1965 and 1966. The collection also contains a typed short story and nine complete manuscripts written in the author's hand. The manuscripts include novels and Frankau's autobiography, Pen to Paper, written in 1961. Also included is a ten page biographical introduction written by Rebecca West for Frankau's novel Colonel Blessington that was not included when the work was published posthumously in 1968.
