Item 1: Dromore Villa, Warrenpoint, County Down, dated 20 July 39. Autograph letter signed 2 pages (2 pieces). Delighted to hear from you again; your fine poetry; accepting "The Rocks of Bawn" ballad for Roddy the Rover's column; you should be paid for "The Rocks of Bawn."

Item 3: Warrenpoint, County Down, dated 20 Jan 40. Autograph letter signed 2 pages (2 pieces). I have been ill. The ballads are the best done in our time. The introduction should not apologise for simplicity--why not get Austin Clarke to write an introduction for you?
