Date1920-1929
DescriptionThis series consists of letters and telegrams marking major events in Cynthia's adult life during the 1920s, including her engagement and marriage, the births of her first two children, the death of her father, and successes in her political career and that of her husband Oswald Mosley. The correspondence is mainly from friends and family members, although there are also some letters and telegrams from politicians, constituency activists, particularly in Harrow, where Oswald Mosley was MP in the early 1920s, and from representatives of organisations in which Cynthia had an interest as a benefactor or an official.
Several of the friends and family members who wrote to Cynthia on these occasions also wrote to her for other reasons, and letters from many correspondents in this group of letters can be found elsewhere in Cynthia Mosley's papers.
