Good\nnews about B and B.\n\nI may have told you I applied for a \"Bursary\" xxxxx awarded by\nN.Ireland Arts Council. Had a letter of regret,but the Secy said\nI should apply next year. A faint gleam of hope. (They awarded 3\nof these,\u00a3300 each,to local authors - all in their thirties,I\u2019d\nsay.) This broadcast may be a help,in showing the boys who hand\nthese things out that I didn\u2019t stop writing at the end of the\n40's.\n\nDid I tell you my old pal Roy McF has a pook of poems coming\n- don't know when - from Chatto ? He wrote a poem for my 50th\n(enclose a copy): a good boy.\n\nI'm nearly healed up now in that awkward place ...What a time of\nit poor Peggie has had! Sympathy to her and good wishes for\na speedy recovery.\n\nMeeting on Nov.llth wd be fine. Shall we meet at Victoria ?\n(There are plenty of little restaurants near-by .) In the Golden\nArrow bar ? Let me know when and where - anywhere in central\nLondon will suit,of course.\n\nI've written anotherx chapter. It deals with my meeting with\nForrest Reid. Do you know his work?- \"Apostate\" etc.    \n\nLove,\nRobert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
