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.’
