DescriptionThese papers consist of handwritten notes compiled by Cynthia; typescript and manuscript poetry; drawings, printed material and ephemera. These include notes written by Cynthia as a child consisting of lists of clothing for fictional characters, presumably as part of a game, and notes written in adulthood consisting of lists of furniture and fabrics required for rooms in which Cynthia lived with her husband, Oswald Mosley. The poetry appears to have been written while Cynthia was working at the War Office in 1917, possibly by a colleague; the subject matter concerns Cynthia's work there as a clerk, and much of the poetry expresses praise for her.
The file also includes a set of three cartoons of unidentified individuals by Ladislav Kondor, dated 1925, and a pre-printed Christmas gift tag addressed to Cynthia from Oswald Mosley, the only item written to her by her husband that survives in these papers.
