| Description | Holograph letter (1 p) from John [McGahern], London, to Niall Walsh, Ballinasloe, in thanks for their hospitality, and the blood test. They are going home at the end of the month; he will camp [in the old house] even if his uncle has done nothing there. Reference to a party for Ian's venture. All work since The Leavetaking has been bought and had he stayed in teaching he would have earned less: "it doesn't allay the guilt, neither would the other: our minds must have come out of a desperate inheritance". (Envelope establishes detail.) |
