Personal Correspondence Unit

This unit includes personal correspondence dated 1946-2007, with one letter dated 1944. Bracewell had organized much of the 1946-1949 correspondence into notebooks, including both originals and multiple photocopies. Where there were both originals and photocopies, originals were retained and photocopies discarded; photocopies were retained of letters for which no originals were found. Included are a photocopied set of letters written by Bracewell from the RMS Orbita en route from Australia to England, 10 August-20 September 1946, and original letters from Bracewell to his mother about his life at Cambridge, September-December 1946. Other letters dated 1946-2007 are those received by Bracewell from family and friends. In some years Bracewell designated his personal correspondence folders as sent and received, in other years he combined the correspondence chronologically; his filing arrangement has been retained. For some years in the period covered, little or no correspondence was found. Also included is one folder of notes and index listings of the 1946-1949 correspondence compiled by Bracewell.
