No. 27 P.C.\n\nMy dear Derek,\n\nThanks for yrs of Thurs.\n\nI can meet you in the Mall Tavern next Wed (26th) at\nabout l.10 - I finish at 1 p.m. at the private school\nin Holland Park where I work in the mornings. If you care to\nand have time you can cone back and see my flat,and have\na snack.\n\nNo cheque from Mrs. Cash. I think Fred Vanson said\nsomething that suggested she was a bit short of the ready.\nCan\u2019t remember exactly what he said.\n\nF has been off the booze lately except for last night.\nWork is what he needs,not merely for the money but simply\nto occupy his time and keep him out of mischief. The\nPuritans were right.\n\nThe Irish Arts Council (i.e. Dublin-based) have\ndecided to give Literary Bursaries,x - 3 will be awarded each\nyear and an annual sum of \u00a36,000 - \u00a38,000 has been set\naside for the purpose. One will go to a writer in the\nIrish language. I\u2019m sending for details but won't apply\nthis year. \"Writer\" in this context means \"creative\nwriter\" and the money can be used for travel/research etc.\nI also hear there are Fellowships at the Univs of Glasgow\nDundee and E'burgh that may be vacant in the summer\nand I've written to the respective Profs of Eng for\ninformation on the advice of the Scottish Arts Council.\n\nPeter has written tc tell me about arrangements for\ndesign of the book. This will be done by a well-known\nDublin artist (also a writer - has published poetry and\nart criticism) called Michael Kane, a man in his xxxxx\n40's. I've seen some of his work - modernist and abstract\nwith a touch of naturalism. Peter says he wants the book\nto be as striking as possible.\n\nHope to see you next xxxx Wed. Love to you both -Robert\n\n x in the past they have given subventions to publishers for specific\nbooks.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
