Scope and Content

From the Collection: The correspondence from Frieda Lawrence and Dorothy Brett to Warren Roberts focuses on the dispensation of D.H. Lawrence (DHL) material. Roberts is pursuing the material both for his own research and for the University of Texas collections. The letters become more informal and friendly as the relationships matured.

Frieda Lawrence’s letters provide insight into her contemplation regarding the dispensation of DHL’s manuscript materials and her feelings about the flurry of interest in DHL. Frieda addresses her letters to Warren and his wife, Pat.

Dorothy Brett’s correspondence with Roberts also becomes less formal and more friendly with time. Brett’s perennial financial struggle is prevalent in the conversations and negotiations for her letters, books, and artwork related to DHL. Her correspondence also provides insight into her personal life, her painting, Taos personalities, visitors, and the weather.
