I have made some corrections in pencil.\n\nI see in the covering letter from the Deputy Chief Editor,\nMr. L. Shaumyan, that he would like comments, corrections\nand additions. I wish I had time to do this job in the\ninterests of accurate scholarship, but I haven\u2019t. It\nwould take at least a week\u2019s work. However, my comment\nis this: I think the encyclopedia is completely out of\ndate and inaccurate so far as Irish Drama is concerned.\nThis really will not do. It is slipshod and unworthy of\nSoviet scholarship. I think you should pass these com-\nments to Mr. Shaumyan. If at any time in the future you\nwould like a contribution to this work of reference; I\nshould be glad to do it provided I am given time and\nclearly told what is wanted.\n\nWith best wishes,\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(JOHN BOYD)\n\nJohn Warren Esq.,\n137 Carmeen Drive,\nRathcoole,\nBELFAST.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
