<> Letters to Stanford Greacen Estate 1974 Oct 10th LHL Wednesday, March 16, 2016 TIFF GreacenStanford174 Letter R.T.E, Denis Ireland English https://www.niliteraryarchive.com/content/greacenstanford174 LHL LHL Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike CC BY-NC-SA https://www.niliteraryarchive.com/sites/default/files/GreacenStanford174.jpg LHL Archive sent it to him with reluctance as prob the I.P. or I.T. would have taken it. Then I thought I’d send it to RTE('Irish Televis- ion and Radio').xxxxx I sent it to the "Here + Now" programme that used a piece of mine in the summer. So something might come of xx that, as Denis had a national reputation. Had a letter today from his widow,Mary Ireland, and her account of his last months is very moving. He married at over 50 and very happily. He was very attractive to women : powerfully built,dignified,humorous,with one or two touches of Captain Fox. (But Fox is not based on him - composite,as you know.) Politics nearly destroyed him. Do you know the work of one of my colleagues,Jenny Joseph (we know her as Mrs. Coles)? She has a book (of poems) xxxx coming from Dent’s shortly - publishes in ENCOUNTER etc. She’s pretty good. Perhaps you would look out for this and tell me what you make of it. A very bright Jewish woman but such a high-speed,compulsive talker that it's impossible to have a conversation! Oddly enough,Mrs.Wechsler is an old friend of her mother - and that's how I know that "Mrs. Coles" is in fact Jenny Joseph. Election ? No comment. Love to you both - Robert Text
