'Autograph letters'
Description
Letters which seem to have been separately grouped, possibly by EJR herself. All are from people who became very famous, and only four are addressed to EJR. It is possible that she collected the others for their signatures, along with letters whose signatures survive in the autograph book (PP40/6).
