Scope and content

Three piece of correspondence from Brian Friel to Tim Robinson (17 September 2010 to 18 September 2011). Friel greatly admires Tim's work, and the letters are complimentary, and tell a story of work he did with David Hammond to record traces of Northern Irish families who had emigrated to the US in the 20th century, and their fruitless efforts to catch up with Joe Heaney. He concludes by congratulating Tim on 'Connemara', "Congratulations again. A Big Book, a big accomplishment. The word that occurs to me is that I'm so grateful for it". The word "grateful" is underlined.

Folder 4
Copy of Swiz - a London newsletter from the 1960s written in science fiction style. It is home made, and interspersed with cuttings from other magazines. Each page has a small piece of paper interleaved that says "This, and other events occurring all over central London this afternoon, have been planned as peaceful demonstrations of concern over the Arts Council of Great Britain's neglect of the living arts. From a budget of £7m. only 1% is spent on the work artists are creating today".
