Summary
  • The bulk of the papers comprise correspondence both with friends and of a business nature. There is a large series of letters written by Nicholas to her son Rix Wright and to her close friend Dorothy Richmond, which give a good insight into her day-to-day life and her art. Apart from correspondence with Howard Ashton and Henrietta Gulliver, there is little in the way of correspondence with other artists. Other correspondents include Will Ashton, Dion Boucicault, James Darling, John Galsworthy, Bernard Hall, John Masefield, Charles Masson, William Moore, Mary Raphael and Beatrice Tange. There are journals kept by Nicholas and her sister Elsie of their trip to Europe in 1907 and by Dorothy Richmond of the trip she undertook with Nicholas in 1924-1926. There are a large number of photographs, which include many of paintings by Nicholas.
