18, Lake Hill, Lone, Kawaha, Belfast. 27th Feb. '39. My dear Father Sman, It was very thoughtful and kind of you to send me the note about my novel — thank you very much. I hope the little book will sufficiently to balance its budget: the publishers have been very generous (the New York connection especially) but it is will attack me for not digging deeper into the intolerable shambles which was the daily life of bathelics here in 1930 - 1932. With good intention I have only skimmed it — made a few slipples in a whistleroal of bloody dissensions. A friend of mine has already told me that there is not enough bitterness — not enough blood — in the book, and that I should have told the whole truth. But for me the ultimate unity of Ireland and the consequent civilization of a horbaric section one of more importance than the creations of an embittered writer. There are times, however, when I feel that bitterness has a privilege; even the most quietent 2. amongst we have limits to their endurance: and a time may come when Belfast must be shown with all its injustices to the world — there is as much basical here as wanded from the hands of a dozen heads. I have clearly commenced a second novel, but I wish to exchange the political corners. You asked me, Father, about suggestions for your next annual. What about this? make a special feature of contributions from Allstes, Wunster, Lewis, Conracht. each provise represented by short - stones; rene, historical article, lankets relating to customs, and lastly pages of photographs. If course this is only a suggestion, but I can imagine the photographic section alone wanded be very interesting: T. Wallay and Kevin Wall Wanes, int'l sene, would help there. There is a young friend of mine in the West who canded, I think, contribute a fine short - stony in Western Frish: his name is flushly McGuinners, Gustmore, Rommer. I shall return the photos in a few days. Thank you once again for your hindans, Yours very sincerely Wallay Wall N.B. Lodd wishes to all the Staff.
