MacGreevy, Thomas, to Deutsch, Babette, 1948 February 22

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 8

Autographed letter signed, 8 pages. Dublin. Regrets that Irish poetry must now conform to “British Council” standards. He has sent her a Dante article, one of “dozens” of essays which would make “succesful books” had he a publisher. MacGreevy's only poem published in an Irish newspaper, the Irish Statesman, was Godh Ruadh, given to A.E. (George William Russell) after Mrs. W.B. [Yeats] had read it to him. Beckett will be home soon; MacGreevy cannot understand an Irish Protestant's writing in French. Discusses Irish elections, Sean McBride, cabinet candidate.
