Thanks, too, for the kind remarks about “Wee Jimmy” which I think is now much better than the original version. There are of course the Irish papers, but nobody here sees them. I think nobody here will take on a ‘has been’. It would probably be better never to have written a line back in the 40’s. Peter Porter turns down everything I send with great respect, but a no is still a no. Most discouraging, one soldiers on. Have you applied to emigrate to Australia/NZ/SA ? Yes, indeed, if I had anywhere to go to, I’d go! Shall not bore you with my views on the economic situation, but they are probably similar to yours. A bad time for optimists. Love to you both Robert Text
