Abstract
MacGreevy notes the death of
Yeats's great-aunt, Ellen Chapman; the reoccurrence of
neck pain from a war wound; an evening with Olivia Shakespear;
his opinion on a short story
by Robinson; notes that
Robinson declined to comment on an early draft of 'Seventh Gift of the Holy
Ghost' which has its roots in a trip the two men took in 1924
to Spain; responds to Yeats's criticism of 'Nocturne of the Self-Evident
Presence'; Osbert Sitwell's writing; current state of Irish
intellectual affairs and WB's political
career.
