| Description | These letters largely discuss social engagements and personal matters. It is clear from the tone of much of the correspondence that Nancy Astor acted as a confidante for Cynthia and her sister Irene, but it is not possible to discover from the letters the precise nature of the topics they discussed with her. Some letters contain information about Astor's political activities, including:
/2 inviting Cynthia to come to help with her 1919 by-election campaign in Plymouth
/3 offering her help to Cynthia in 1930. A label reading 'New Party politics' in Cynthia's handwriting is on the envelope, but the content does not appear to directly relate to this. |
