The playwright whom\nthe IRISH TIMES said was given \u00a3150 was in\n\nfact given \u00a3850 (just a misprint). Now I've sent\nanother but less explosive missive. I take care\nto say nice tnings about the Arts Council people,\nesp Longley while attacking their bosses in the\nGovt. And I've written to Longley. I don't want\nto bore you with the various points that have\narisen but I think it will be of interest to\nwriters over there,North and South.\n\nA new development in my life that I think xxx\nwill be important,but of this when we meet.\n\nArethusa writes to say she's started a job\nnear her heme in a posh hotel - 9 quid bed and\n'full Irish breakfast' - French chefs and all\nthat. The proprietor xx is a man called Graves,\nnephew of Robt Graves,with a Fr wife. Arethusa\nsays her job is \"typing,typing,typing!'. Graves,\nshe says,\"is quiet,nice at times but can be\nsullen\". Adds:\"the pay is low (the richer people\nare the meaner they seem to be)\".
