This item, Diary and papers relating to D.C. [Dora Carrington] 1925-1926 (Brenan's title), in typescript carbon copy with his autograph manuscript revisions, is the first part of Brenan's account of the end of his love affair with Bloomsbury artist Dora Carrington (1893-1932). They first met in 1919, and began their affair in 1921, the year Carrington married his friend Ralph (Reginald S.) Partridge (1894-1960).

Topics also include his social circle and Bloomsbury friends; his encounters with other women; his health, dreams, and finances; family visits and travels; and the progress of various writing projects.
