He was\ncarrying a cardboard box - probably\nempty like the briefcase he used to\ncarry daring the divorce proceedings.\n\nThis sounds like the opening of a short story,\ndoesn't it ? Roy then says he thinks F is back\nto the state of mind he was in during that 3 year\nperiod in London before his second marriage. Quote:\n\nI would think some sort of retreat is necessary\nwhere he could use his talent for translating -\nsay - Finnegans Wake into Hebrew,or any other\nlanguage that would occupy his mind for the rest\nof his days. I was surprised at my feeling of\nwarmth for him during our chat. I suppose he is\nas much a victim as the deceased wife.\n\nMost of R's letter is lit chit-chat, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\nbut one para reads:\n\nWollies got it yesterday. I was passing just\nbefore the bombs exploded.\n\nRoy\u2019s a cool customer. (Woolies of course is\nWoolworths,as you probably guessed.)\n\nA relative of mine living near Dublin,one\nWalter Greacen (about 35) has sent me a copy of our\nfamily \"tree\" plus a lot of details of the family.\nMost interesting. He writes a bit and I am urging him\nto do a short history. Our common ancestor was a\nGeorge Grierson from Scotland,but Walter thinks his\nown grandfather and mine were brothers. Walter saw my\naddress in the IRISH TIMES appended to my letter.\nAn odd spin-off. Also, the lady I repremanded for her attack\non my dead friend wants to meet me when she comes to London\nshortly.\n\nLibs. Good for you! Delighted by Lib ratings in the polls.\nFox has been at work.\nLove to you both -\nRobert \n","Type":"Text"}}]
