A series of letters from Bernard Leach (1887-1979), seven letters to the poet Arthur Caddick, 1955-68, to include signed examples, most in response to news of Caddick's financial crises, responding to one with £5 and a description of his own situation, 'I ought to make it £25, as you propose, but I want more assurance that I'll get it back. I cannot afford to lose it as I did with Guido. You don't know my responsibilities; you'd understand if you did. I could tell you a bit, but not until I get back from Scotland where I have to go on Thursday to lecture & make a little money. I've had two wives, six children & eleven grandchildren & the pottery is not mine any more...' (1965), also a typed letter signed following a celebration, at the end of which Leach had fallen downstairs and collided with a refrigerator (1967), a poem to Caddick by Leach (1968), and two postcards and a further four blank examples of Japanese postcards used by Leach (16)
