Purchased at auction: Lot 174 Bonhams sale 23 June 2009.
Included with the papers are a number of auction slips from the sale at Bonhams. These slips describe specific items in the collection, and so they have been placed in the same folders as the items to which they relate. In addition, there are five auction slips relating to eight items of correspondence (letters, postcards, and notes written by Shaw) that were not received as part of this collection. These slips have been retained in a separate paper sleeve, in the final folder of the collection (Add MS 89008/6).
