He\nread out the text of the letter he has\nwritten to the Arts Council - lengthy and\n'strong'. He must have taken considerable\ntrouble with it.\n\nNo,he didn\u2019t mention the Poetry Group\nnor did Michael H. A pity,but after all\nthe idea of these grants xxx to help\nwriters anf not so much the organisers and\nencouragers of writers. Or at least they may\npossibly look at it that way.\n\nGrant or not,it\u2019s very gratifying that\nMH and xx HS have been kind enough to say\nthese flattering things about me. Writing tends\nto be such a thankless business! I must thank\nyou too for your good offices with HS,as I\ndon\u2019t think I wd have approached him.\nLove to you both - Robert\n\nDolmen Press - Liam Miller,that is,is\nexcelling himself. He\u2019s had my 2nd Fox for over\n6 months and still hasn\u2019t decided. If he should\neventually say yes,perhaps I cd expect pubn\nby 1984.\n\nI wonder what kind of delay Jack had at\nHeathrow. I am flying from Gatwick,also\n","Type":"Text"}}]
