Abstract
MacGreevy implores
Yeats to write; feels isolated without the social circle he enjoyed in Dublin; writes of films and concerts
he has been to and of a general feeling of ennui; comments on the Abbey Theatre riots at The Plough and
the Stars; mentions TS Eliot and Vincent Reade; met Yeats's step-father; describes an evening with Robinson and Travers Smith, using the same language as in his poem The Other Dublin; had his horoscope done and would like Yeats's opinion of
it.
