I am engaged in a long feature on the\ndevelopment of Belfast, and am reading through all the old\nhistory, autobiographies and documents I can get my hands on.\nIt's a wonderful history altogether, Belfast's. I only wish\nthe City wasn't so ugly. No-one gives a damn about planning\nanything.\n\nHow's your work getting on? C.K. told me you had almost\nfinished your autobiography; I hope this is true. If so\nit's good news.\n\nAnd I hope all your news is good.\n\nWith best wishes to Nora and yourself.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(JOHN BOYD)\n\nSenior Talks Producer, Northern Ireland.\n\nDr. St. John Ervine,\nHoney Ditches,\nSeaton,\n\nDEVON.\n\nJB/PEC\n","Type":"Text"}}]
