Letter from Calleja, Ediciones ‘La Nave’, Madrid, to Kate O’Brien, having secured the Spanish world rights for three novels, Without My Cloak, The Ante-room, and The Last of Summer, and expressing interest in other works. He requests a number of items for publicity including a photograph of O’Brien, relevant press cuttings, and a short letter about her work. He notes, ‘I was enormously struck by “Without My Cloak”. I liked your lovely novel so much that I was loth to entrust its translation to anybody for fear they might not give enough attention to its many beauties, and although very short of time, I decided in consequence to translate it myself. I daresay better translators could be found but I am positive that nobody could give to the translation as much loving care. This is one of the most pleasant jobs that have come my way for a good many years.’

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.’
