TS letter signed by Elizabeth Cullinane, New York, to John McGahern. 'I've just read "Nightlines" and I think it's a perfect book' and discusses individual stories in the book and adds she met Mary Lavin in New York recently who thought a character was named after her. Cullinane continues that she had received John's letter but couldn't respond as she was already in a relationship. She adds that she hopes to come to Ireland soon and to see John at some time, or if he may be in the US. She adds her own book of stories was recently published.
File includes photocopy of letter on The New Yorker headed paper, from editor William Maxwell to Cullinane, congratulating her on finding the work of McGahern and if any other stories are floating around Dublin, send them to him. This relates to "Strandhill, The Sea", by McGahern and published in the magazine. The original of this letter is also within the McGahern archive.
