Harry Kemp had been associated with Graves and Laura Riding before the war; although his correspondence refers to Riding on occasion, in the main it is poetry which he discusses in his letters to Graves. The letters often enclosed copies of his poems; these have become detached and the survivors have been placed in a bundle at the end of the series. The series also includes correspondence with Beryl Graves, one letter to Alan Hodge, prose pieces and press cuttings of Kemp's obituaries.
