Dear Tony: Thank you vary much for sending me First Person. It really is a posh production. I agree Americans can do this kind of thing well. I got your A Sweet Mouse-Trotting Cup copied and if I can insert it in any programme I will do so. I liked your photograph too - it reminds me' of young Gide (certainly not a father of ten!) I think it’s the dome. Do you know the work of a friend of mine called Bill Naughton? - your face reminds me a little of him - he’s an Irishman from Mayo whom MacGib on and Kee publishes. Get hold of his A Small Boy, if you can, and tell me what you think of it. Gorry you missed the broadcast but hope the fee has caught up with you, Roy McFadden and I send you our greetings. I liked the Stendhal Memories of a Tourist. He really was something, old Henri. Dec 14.7-65 Used Arts TXN 21.10-65 Some day I would like to do a recording with you when I'm on a visit to England. You must tell me the best way of getting to Anglesey from Belfast en route for London. A long chat into the tape recorder might be enjoyable. Yours sincerely, (JOHN BOYD) Talks Producer, N.I.Region Anthony C.West Esq., Bryn Afon, Penmon, Beaumaris, Anglesey, N.Wales. JB/FJ Text
