I've\nseen the name of John Russell Taylor here and there as a reviewer\nbut don't know his books, A stout fellow. Why don't you send him a\nnote ? (NOT a Treasury one - you know what I mean...)\nme\n\nToo late for me to wish Jack godspeed in Nigeria...\n\nFox Productions roll on,and still another has come off the xxxxxx\nassembly line called \"Midwinter, W.11\"(no 3 day week in that>/u> factory).\nI accept your suggested deletion in \"Knowing and Not Knowing\". My old friend in\nBelfast,Denis Ireland,always says the Ulster writer has to guard\nagainst a characteristic fault - not knowing that the job is\nfinished and putting in a bit more to make sure. He's right.\nI'll think about \"shitty\" in the Haiku.\n\nRoy writes - a characteristic letter. \"McF's Worst Xmas\" - \"I\nwrites most weekends. Pomes maturing with the plentiful dung.\"\n\"I am chary about 2 many words. I am parsimonious because I am\ngenerous. My words spill and I gather them up like turds and weewee\nand put them away and hoard another day.\" \"Have they hanged Fred\nbehind our backs ? because I haven't heard hint or xxxxxx hilt\nof him since he was arraigned.\" (hint or hilt - i.e. news). Very\nentertaining. But I think Roy has been having a pretty bad time one\nway and another.\n\nNice letter today from Peter Fallon,along with 3 Gallery Press\nbooklets (one by Pearse Hutchinson). Well produced - 2 of the 3 with\nthe assistance of the Arts Council of Ireland (i;e. the Dublin-\nbased one) which means that Fallon has some pull with the Establish-\nment. Says he will look me up when in London.\n\nAnd here I must end - Fox,TLS,students etc. are calling.\nLove to you both - Robert\n\n P.S. No payment from B+B for Nov.\nor Dec. contributions, despite letters and phone calls!\n","Type":"Text"}}]
