The collection consists of letters received by Douglas Cleverdon from Stanley Morison and letters written by Cleverdon to William Prince Telfer. The letters written by Stanley Morison relate specifically to The Engravings of Eric Gill and The Ancient Mariner, both printing projects by Cleverdon that were to be sponsored by Morison. The letters to Telfer, a regular customer of Cleverdon's Bristol bookshop, express Cleverdon's thanks for Telfer's discovery of a cataloging error; the contents of Cleverdon's next catalog; Cleverdon's thoughts on quitting the book trade; and a list of books illustrated by Eric Gill.
