Blanaid Salkeld letters and poems, 1936-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57457720

The collection consists of two letters from Blanaid Salkeld to F. McCurdie Atkinson, a letter from R.A. Scott-James to Atkinson, and a sheaf of poems divided into three sections, all 1936-1937. The letters are all concerned with the poems; Blanaid Salkeld is asking Atkinson if Harrap & Co. would be intersted in publishing them, while the letter from Scott-James of the London Mercury indicates the poems aren't quite good enough for publication therein. The poetry typescripts are titled The Engine is Left Running and White and Black, while the third section is an untitled miscellany.
