'documents a bit' is the definition.
'papers' can be an answer for 'documents' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'a bit' bit.

'personal to father?' is the wordplay.
'personal' becomes 'pers' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'father?' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'pers' after 'pa' is 'PAPERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for papers that I've seen before include "Documentation" , "tabloids, maybe" , "Identifying documents" , "ID etc." , "Documents; the press" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
