Scope and Contents
This collection contains correspondence from A.J.A. Symons to longtime friend Harold Fisher, dating from 1921 to his death in 1941. It also contains some outgoing correspondence from Fisher to Symons, as well as original poems by Symons sent to Fisher, handwritten transcriptions by Symons of poems by Ernest Dowson, notes made by Fisher on John Addington Symonds, George Moore, and Walter Pater, and other miscellaneous items.
The collection was formerly housed in a custom made case, but the materials have been removed and placed in archival folders; the case is housed within the box now holding the collection.
