Holograph manuscript fair copy of the poem "Crow's Playmates", fourteen lines, signed and dated by the poet at the bottom, Ted Hughes - December 1975", on single page of thick deckle-edged paper; together with a carbon typescript of the poem "Crow's Battle Fury" , one page, with four corrections in Hughes's hand, signed by the poet at the bottom of the page

Both manuscripts are in fine condition.. Both of these poems appeared in Crow (1970); Hughes's fair copy of "Crow's Playmates" matches the published text; however, in the typescript of "Crow's Battle Fury", there is one five-line stanza in parentheses which does not appear in the published text; and is this stanza which bears Hughes's holograph corrections. Both manuscripts are in fine condition.
