 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 23

Autographed letter signed, 6 pages. Dublin. He is pleased that Deutsch and Avrahm Yarmolinsky are coming to Europe. Suggests she come to Dublin after Padraic [Colum] returns, since he can introduce her to literary figures MacGreevy cannot. His friends, “however sympathetic, are not `in the movement.' ” Discusses background of Moments, his poem concerning music and the arts. He thinks Brian O'Doherty's silence is a result of his being in love. Notes Samuel Beckett deplored MacGreevy's tendency to “lapse too easily into iambics.” Wallace Stevens letters have been returned
