Content description
A typescript play entitled 'War at Wittenberg', bound in quarter black cloth over black, white and gold decorated paper. Christmas card from Ronald Watkins to Carter is loosely inserted, explaining how he has included a copy of the play for Carter. Watkins also says that he won't "let it go any further. There are things that make [him] shudder - besides some that don't". The play was performed by the Cambridge ADC in 1925.
Also included are untitled typescripts and manuscripts that are presumably also by Watkins. They feature characters such as "Billy" and "Ticino".
