Scope and Content

These correspondence files were ordered by Lady Plowden in alphabetical order according to sender, and separated from the correspondence files associated with her positions with particular organisations. However these files do contain correspondence Lady Plowden may have had with an organisation before or after taking an official position with them. For this reason there may be some crossover with other correspondence files within the Plowden (Lady Bridget) Archive.
