Autograph Letter Signed to Daniel George (Bunting), publisher's reader, editor and author, co-discoverer of Ian Fleming.

Poet. Two pages, 8vo, good condition. He gotr the impression from a letter George sent that he and another approved of Monk Gibbon's book. He quotes Flaubert on the idea that an author works hard but cannot expect profit "but to fail to see it even in print would stick in my gizzard." He asks for advice - does he know anybody at Heinemann (he knows someone). "Has Verschoyle money behind him?". He is finding delay and "subsequent disappointments too wearing. And with each one the typescript gets a little more woebegone". He discussses his and George's movements, refers to "the Dublin transcripts" (see below), tells of plans to review George's new book for the "Irish Times". Since George is reading the typescript, he will not ask Storm Jameson to do so. (Poss. referring to his "Western Germany" (1955). This letter is enclosed in a pamphlet, XXVth International Congress of the P.E.N. "The Literature of Peoples whose Language restricts wide Recognition" (In Irish also), Dublin-Belfast, 8-13 June 1953, good condition, to which Gibbon contributed "On the status of poetry today". George has scrawled a reference to Gibbon's article/speech on the front cover.
