The correspondence series contains letters sent by Ralph Jacobs to the Graves's from his home in New Jersey between 1963 and 1979. Jacobs often visited Deyá and was a friend of Robert and Beryl Graves and also of Aemilia Laraçuen (Cindy Lee). His letters contain news of mutual friends - including Laraçuen - encountered in New York, and of his cats. The series also contains Graves's correspondence to Jacobs from 1962 to 1972, a total of 30 letters together with transcripts and a schedule (possibly compiled by Richard Perceval Graves in the course of researching his biography of Graves). In addition there is: one letter from Julia Simon to Robert and Beryl Graves which bears an ink sketch of Jacobs by Alice Meyer-Wallace (c1978); one letter from Graves to Aemilia Laraçuen (14 March 1968); and one letter from Selwyn Jepson to Jacobs concerning the return of correspondence (28 May 1968). The series also contains a number of envelopes addressed to Jacobs.
