Then\nI thought I\u2019d send it to RTE('Irish Televis-\nion and Radio').xxxxx I sent it to the\n\"Here + Now\" programme that used a piece of mine in the\nsummer. So something might come of xx that,\nas Denis had a national reputation. Had a\nletter today from his widow,Mary Ireland,\nand her account of his last months is very\nmoving. He married at over 50 and very\nhappily. He was very attractive to women :\npowerfully built,dignified,humorous,with\none or two touches of Captain Fox. (But\nFox is not based on him - composite,as you\nknow.) Politics nearly destroyed him.\n\nDo you know the work of one of my\ncolleagues,Jenny Joseph (we know her as\nMrs. Coles)? She has a book (of poems) xxxx\ncoming from Dent\u2019s shortly - publishes in\nENCOUNTER etc. She\u2019s pretty good. Perhaps\nyou would look out for this and tell me\nwhat you make of it. A very bright Jewish\nwoman but such a high-speed,compulsive\ntalker that it's impossible to have a\nconversation! Oddly enough,Mrs.Wechsler is\nan old friend of her mother - and that's\nhow I know that \"Mrs. Coles\" is in fact\nJenny Joseph.\n\nElection ? No comment.\n\nLove to you both -\nRobert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
