Scope and content
Photocopy of part of the original of letter 29, 20 Oct. 1892, and original envelope, as well as typed description headed 'Pacification of Chins Period. Soldiers Letter. Burma' and partial transcript of the letter. Perhaps from an exhibition?
Photocopy of piece from the Housman Society Newsletter [early 1998?]: 'George Herbert Housman's Letters from Burma 1891-1892'; describes Gerald Symons' recent transcription of Herbert Housman's letters, and appeals for information on the current location of the originals, which are not in Symons' possession nor at the Green Jackets/King's Royal Rifles Museum at Winchester where Housman's medal is held.
Short piece [by Gerald Symons?]: 'To Mater and the Dad. Introduction', typed, with MS corrections; family history of Herbert and his siblings, perhaps incomplete.
