WEBER-42171-1.jpg
WEBER (Richard, 1932-1010, Irish Poet)

Small Collection of material comprising a Long Typed Letter Signed to Professor Brumbaugh telling him that his letter “took almost a month to get to me here, via Mt Holyoke College. It is kind of you to ask me for an autographed poem for your exhibition. I enclose two pieces written in my fairly formal hand. GLENDALOUGH comes from my most recent volume, Stephen’s Green Revisited, available in USA from Dufour Editions Inc... who also carry my Lady & Gentleman... The other piece I send is so far uncollected, having just appeared in The Nation of October 19. Indeed a copy of the paper arrived alongside your letter, & I thought the poem’s topicality & the availability to you of The Nation might help you with the exhibition - if you intend placing the printed poetry alongside the handwritten versions. Incidentally, I’ve corrected a small misprint in the enclosed version of GLENDALOUGH... You do not say if you are paying poets for autographed versions. Now that I’ve left USA, after three years of teaching at Mt Holyoke, I have become aware again of the higher cost of living in Ireland. Indeed I fear I may have to go back again to USA or Canada... I left because I needed to get more of my own writing done... You mention... that you would be glad of help in addition to the autographed material. Can I be of help in this other, unspecified, area... we live in a cottage overlooking the Blessington lakes...”, 1 side A4, together with signed manuscript copies of his poems GLENDALOUGH and AMERICAN DOG DAYS each on 1 side A4, written in a very formal script, Ballyknockan, Valleymount, County Wicklow, Irish Republic, 19th October
