Series 2

Content Summary:

Bett Milner's letters are of biographical interest. The bulk of the letters to her friend Clifton Pugh were written in the war years, 1944-46. The remaining letters were written during the period 1971-76. The early letters, the first written when Milner was nineteen, all speak of her feelings of friendship and love for Pugh. References are made to typing Pugh's memoirs which he posted to her in instalments from the war zone. The 1970s letters give news of her family, her husband Hugh, and the weddings of their two children.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were purchased by the Library from the Dunmoochin Foundation, the Trustees of Clifton Pugh's Estate, in 1996.
