Yes,indeed,I'd very much like to cane on Sat 26th and stay the night. Is there a xx good train arriving about mid-afternoon (pref one that comes direct) ? This visitcan be my birthday celebration. The Captain's dustbin and w.p.b. have some nice little items/ I'd like if poss to do a second Captain Fox book. We'll see how A GARLAND is received. There should be news any day now about N.I. Arts Council decision: to grant or not x to grant. I think Longley seems fairly well disposed and I take it that the committee look to him,as a poet,for a lead. But if Big Ian hears they are dishing out money to a Dublin publisher,well!! Still haven't had the Drabble book from "B and B" but I wrote a notice and sent it to Cis. Valerie has kindly asked me to lunch on 24th (Peggie knows the signifance of that date - United Nations Day ?) Thanks for yr writing to the Petersfield xxxxxx bookshop.
