| Description | This file contains fifty-one typed entries. These appear to have been sent to Hayes in batches of nine or ten. They are interspersed with cards sent from Belsey to Hayes, although most of these are undated and offer no contextual information. The batches in this file were not strictly separated and so all entries are kept in the file in the order in which they were discovered by the archivist.
Also includes:
-two letters from Hayes, dated 29 February 2004 & 5 April 2005, offering brief feedback on the entries. One of the letters also includes a copy of one of Belsey's entties which has been annoated by Lindey Stainton -a bibliography of sources and exhibitions on Gainsborough
