Letter from Frieda Lurie, Moscow, to O’Brien referring to O’Brien’s article on her trip to Russia, her health and her friends in Russia, stating ‘Today I received the magazine with your article about your trip to our country. I was deeply touched by the warm words you said about “your interpreter”. Thank you ever so much. As for your impressions of Moscow I am afraid they don’t coincide with mine. To one who is born and brought up in this city everything is so dear and so much part of yourself that, perhaps, one can’t be objective but the fact remains – to me the Red Square and St. Basil’s are beautiful. May be it is so because our history, traditions and lives are so closely tied-up with it.’

Letter from Feargal McGrath, The Society of Jesus, 35 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin. Replying on behalf of Father M. A. O’Grady, The Society of Jesus, he informs Edward McGrath that it would be important to spend a few weeks in Dublin in order to interview people who knew Joyce.

Others think him greatly over-rated, and believe that the vogue for him will pass.’
