I got your letter only to-day so you will understand the delay in answering it. At the moment I haven't anything new that would suit the proposed anthology. But you may certainly reprint SONG Incidentally there is a second part to this poem which has not been published yet. It's in a different vein, and quite good though perhaps emotionally you mightn't like it just so well. If you would care to have it also for the anthology you could write to my brother-in-law Wilfred Robinson at The Manse, Loughgall. Tell him he will find a copy of it, entitled SONG in a used envelope on the bookcase in my bedroom at home, or else lying about somewhere in the bedroom. Ask him to forward it to you. I hope the anthology is a success.

From there I went to stay with a friend in a flat in London for a couple of weeks before returning to the responsibilities of my own menage in the middle of May.

After the terrible events on Friday I rang Nini to see if they were all right, about to ask about Mercy as we heard there was a bomb in Botanic Avenue.

I have been having quite a correspondence with Patric Stephens in Hillsborough. He sent me a poem of Bertie's 'Herod's Storm' which has been omitted by the OUP. It was published in the New Statesman in 1942, but I have never seen it before of heard Bertie mention it. Just at the moment I can't find the copies I made of it but will send you one as soon as I do. It's going to be published in a little poetry magazine called Pegasus (No2), edited by a friend of mine, Olga Gibb. Patric also pointed out a shamefully long list of misprints in the OUP edition. He has also sent it to the poetry editOr there, Carol Buckroyd, and she has promised to get them right in the next edition. Quite a number of them were already there in Europa and in Awake! It's very annoying, though some of them are really variants and it's hard to say now which version Bertie favoured. Did you see the review of the poems by James Simmons in The Honest Ulsterman?

The only snag was that there was no opportunity to have a real talk with you, and this was one of the things I came for! All I could do was to ask you to think about the need for collecting material \u2013 letters, reminiscenses \u2013 of Bertie for the eventual biography. Now I really want to ask you how much I can count on your help with Bertie's papers. Although you are retired, it seems to me that you are as busy, if not more so, than you were before, and I am wondering if it is realistic to expect you to take an active part in sorting and collecting? I know I can't do it on my own, and that I will have to have help from Northern Ireland, but you, along with everyone else of Bertie's circle, probably still have to make money, and it is hardly fair to ask you to give up valuable free-lance time to work on something which, in the present situation, holds no guarantee of renumeration. As I said, I am not thinking of writing the actual biography myself, though, of course, I will contribute it. But we're none of us getting any younger, and I think it is important not to delay in getting the material together. Ideally, an author and publisher should be found at this point who would be willing to back the project and pay contributors. But as with the Irish Portraits, copyright fees can eventually be paid and also fees for helping with the editing. Not much of a carrot is it? I would be grateful if you can work out any business-like arrangement that would acceptable to you and make it possible for you to carry on the job as literary executor. If, however, it really us too heavy a burden, and you don't see any hope of devoting time to it within the foreseeable future, would it perhaps be better that you should say so now and that I should ask someone else to take over? Needless to say, I should be very sorry to lose your valuable help and support, but with so much work to be done, I feel I can't go on putting it off. I think I told you that I was going to take another 2-day-a-week job, but since coming home from Dublin I have decided to go completely free-lance, raking in as much translation and editing work as I can get. At the same time I will try to get started on sorting Bertie's papers into more accessible files \u2013 the first job being to find copies of the Ulster Journey scripts, so that the B.B.C. copies can be returned to Belfast (they asked me for them shortly after you \n","Type":"Text","Author":"WR Rodgers","Updated date":"Tuesday, July 26, 2016 - 10:47","Nid":"1373"}},{"node":{"title":"RodgersBoyd016","Collections":"To Boyd","Contributor":"Rodgers Estate","Coverage":"1973 Nov 12th","Creator":"Linen Hall Library","Date":"Saturday, April 2, 2016","Format":"TIFF","Identifier":"RodgersBoyd016","Item Description":"Letter","Keywords":"Michael Longley","Language":"English","Path":"https://www.niliteraryarchive.com/content/rodgersboyd016","Publisher":"Linen Hall Library","Relation":"Linen Hall Library","Rights":"Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike CC BY-NC-SA","Scanned image":{"src":"https://www.niliteraryarchive.com/sites/default/files/RodgersBoyd016.jpg","alt":""},"Source":"LHL Archive","Transcript":"\ufeffRetired).
