Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast. \n\nDear John, I'm sorry I couldn't wait over the weekend, but BEA said it might otherwise be 5 days before I'd get a booking and I was lucky to get a cancelled one on the Saturday. Thank you for lending me Brian Friel's book of stories which I enclose. Lovely stories, and, as you said 'The Death of a Scientific Humanist' is the one. Only one thing worries me (and maybe it's my own fault) \u2013 the intricate gamut of care which the whole book shows. Will he \u2013 I'm sure he can \u2013 step outside for a moment and look at the house he has been living in, turn the paper-bag of love inside-out? The nice inexhaustible themes of Ultster \u2013 the Cockfight, The Visitor to the School \u2013 come up alarmingly good (alarmingly because he's good) as if a new and young Michael McLaverty had started to write again. 'Who will rid me frrm the body of this death?' I come back in my mind to Frank \n","Type":"Text"}}]
