He obviously didn\u2019t care for the non-Fox poems about which he says not a word. He writes: \u201cI do very much like the Captain Fox sequence. There\u2019s a lightness and vitality about it that is most enjoyable. However twelve poems would, I think, hardly be enough to even think of as enough for a book. Do toy see the sequence as complete ? Or might there be additions to it ?\u201d He suggests that if I don\u2019t get another publisher I should \u201cspeak at a later date about the Captain\u2019s poems\u201d. He tells me that when he comes to London he stays with Brian Paten in Holland Park Gdns and hopes to meet me. The letter is pretty fulsome, with handwritten p.s. etc. though no mention whatever of the other poems. Well, I\u2019ve replied to say that the sequence is on-going and that I wrote another poem recently. I\u2019m craftily taking 2 other poems and turning them into Fox pieces. Which means I really have 15 now. What I like is that, whether Fallon ever publishes me or not, he\u2019s another voice cheering the Capitain along. Yes, do let me have the name of the little mag that might want one or two.\nJust getting out of the dark tunnel I\u2019ve been through, thanks to one of my king-size colds \u2013 contracted in the West Country and developed to nth degree in London. What a miserable New Year, reading about Lowry\u2019s misfortunes, listening to the radio version of the country\u2019s woes and pouring out mucus by the bucket\u2026. Will most probably be able to make it next Wed (9th) at Gaiety as suggested.\nLove to you both \u2013\nRobert \n","Type":"Text"}}]
