25 ALWIYAH BAGHDAD
AZIZI Maurice:
Every letter should be a love-letter; or a hate-letter; the
rest? the kind of things Simpson wd write - to those interested', out
of his pure, disinterested desire that convicted criminals should die
cleanly and scientifically. READ the HM Govt's report on capital
punishment, in wh the english executioners opt for hanging, finding
the two alternative american methods too macabre and depressing: the
chair, where the head is shaved at 5 pm ( Wake up! it's nearly five! )
and the current turned on at 10; the gas-chamber I with unpleasant
associations ', where the victim, or patient, wears only a pair of
black crepe de chine shorts, and the head of a stethoscope attached
to the chestwall by adhesive plaster (Elastoplast?) which is then joined
to a pipe in the chamber ( by the Padre?) that leads out to where a
doctor in a kisok records the heartbeats! We must get Simpson published:
I don't mind by whom, so long as it's somebody, so long as it is in
print; and can be read. If all else fails, send it to Eophrion. After
all, itss content refutes utterly the usual idea of what a fascist
beast is upto - it would be rather fitting, perhaps?
I am glad that your Jewish leftwing friend likes the magazine:
he's meant to, we are not writing for one coterie, and the Jewish
contribution to European culture has been immense - damaging, in the
legacy of christian sex-morality, ennobling, in such persons as Spinoza
and Freud, and always stimulating. (I include the Arabs in Europe,
meself.) Perhaps people don't realise that twenty years have passed:
while Lehmann's gang have merely discarded politics ( viz his editorial)
wh were the only reason why they were interesting before the war, we
have gone beyond our previous politics. Admitted mistakes: is there any-
thing more useful than that? I shd not say - we', as I was 15 when
the war started (I'llsoon be saying 12, no doubt!) and anyway, am much
more interested in three other topics than politics. I wish you wonld
write some thing for us; and do subscribe. The two rival mags. are
wonderfully produced, have all that Yeasti money and:Daily Mirror profits
on scurrility behind them, they are typographically expert, much ad-
vertised in but i defy anyone to say that either of them is really
interesting. You know what a glutton one gets for reading here - I re-
ceived the first issues of the 2 mags by air, thought, I'll go to bed
early and have a delightful evening reading .
I was up, dressed
again by ten, and went to the cinema just in time.
Delighted your novel will be out in the Autumn. If you'ld
like, I'll do a long article on it and your first novel and you for the
European. Alas, there's no chance of my asking you to do return log-
rolling - THE UNSUITABLE ENGLISHMAN has been found too extreme ( anti-
imperialism, sex, NOT in the least fascist ) by all London publishers:
will appear in New York chez Farrar, Straus and Young in about July; but
out of the reach of the English public. If English people DID read it,
they might avoid further MauMaus, Sudans, Kabaka trouble and now, Scot-
lands. But they won't. Frenzy here because of my February article
in the American HOLIDAY, attacking the Alwiyah Club etc. My other
novel GIGOLO hangs fire, 1 need another visit to Cannes, to get all
my hackles up, to sea a few more lanks, queens, lesbians, and so on.
Iraq is such a hice place, indignation rather dies on one here. John
and I are working on a joint travel book, we imagine it will be ready
by. summer, perhaps hopeful. I have done one V interesting expedition
among the Yezidis, have read a lot about them; their theory of dualism,
worship of the Peacock Angel, fire, water and trees would have delighted
Laurnce. It did me. How typical of Lord Kinroes, who
met
us, to spread these lies. Wilfred Kirkpatrick says when he"
staying
meNT
with him in Libya he went out one night determined to be paid ( by the
Arabs in a bidonville there ) and came back with a couple of eggs,
a cotton handkerchief, five cigarettes, his loot from a number of
clients! R X
managed rather better than that! Patience Ross,
by the way,pis the sweetest, but perhaps not the most energetic of
women. You might do more in an afternoon with yr sweet smile for The
Chair than her typist in a year.


Did you ever know Buland al Haidari? Two of his poems I translated
for April N World Writing - will get them to send you a copy. Jawad
Saleem illustrated them. Buland and I are doing a translation of 25
modern poems (Yeats, Eliot, Pound, Cavafy, the boys in other words )
into Arabic, with a long introduction, to sell here as an introduction
to modern western poetry. I think Arabic poetry needs stimmlating out
of the verbal beauty stage. I might include the Snake?
My summer plans are vague: perhaps June in Krudistan with John
writing. Then July 15th a fortnight with my mother in Holland and the
Rhineland. Thereafter England for a while anyway. I have a sailor in
La Spezia who writes to me constantly as - il mio unicio raggio di sole'
so I dare say 1 shall go to Italy again. I si find it hard to keep
away, adore Latins, when all's said and done, to use a striking phrase!

Via Giulia 102,
Rome, Italy.
January 12th 1966.
My Lord,
I had an interesting half-hour with Mr Eric White of
the Arts Council some months ago during which he told me some
of the things the Arts Council is planning to do for books.
As a writer I urged him, and I am writing this letter to urge
you now, to adopt the very same policy for publishers as you
have (with terrific success) for the theagres: that is to say,
to judge MSS submitted to you (by the publisher) as you do a
play, and to offer or not a guarantee against loss on its
production, with a minimum guaranteed royalty for the author.
The experience of your Counc il is, I believe, that theatres
submit plays sensibly; and seventy percent of those submitted
are given a guarantee. Being a writer of both plays and books
I have a chance of C omparing the two Worlds. The difference
is 30 enormous that I wonder how many people really know about
it. I'm certain the critics don't. I wonder if many of those
preparing the Council's plan for literature do, either.
The fact seems to be that literary publishing in England
has collapsed. That is to say, the criterion brought to every
book is whether or not it will sell or produce lucrative
subsidiary rights. Hundreds of first-rate books, even by
established and well reviewed writers, are being turned down
every year, on the grounds that warm reviews are not enough
(which they certainly aren't economically). I believe that
many more books than before get maximum attention in the press
without selling. And I believe the reason is that the English
publisher today is out of touch with the public he is trying
to serve; and is,using methods for a public that ceased to
exist long ago.
I believe that in fact there is a literary reading public
in England vaster than it ever was. In the borough where
I was born, the largest and most industrial in London, the
book-buying situation has not changed in the smallest respect
for thirty or so years. Working pe ople who buy cars and TV sets
and detached houses---no longer working people at all in the
old sense---still have no idea how to buy a book, and still
feel intimidated
a bookshop, or would do if they had a book-
shop to go to: but at best they have their local tobacconist.
Working people have had every other kind of commercial approach,
except one from the publishers: so the tobaco onist has taken
over, which means that the paperback firms have taken over.
This is why the paperback firms leave hardback publishers far
behind C ommerciaily, and find them laughable.


The publishers in the last twenty years have not taught
ordinary people how cheap English books are, how nice it is to
own one and even sometimes to read it. The lending libraries
are crowded every day: this can't be a sign that people are
reading less. The greatest mistake of the publishers has been
to think that this new public is fit only for
detection
and sex. They could have consulted the libraries TAmt0 find out
at what rates different types are borrowed; they would have
been surprised to find a big public even in places like Wandsworth
for s ome of the 'difficultt non-fiction lines. And I believe
that the failure to reach the new public is aue partly to the
fact that most publishing directors and editors come from public
schools, which ceased abruptly to supply any valid picture of
life in 1938, when the world that justified their existence
collapsed. I think the kind of psychology bred at the English
public school is hopeless for dealing with the mountains of manu-
scr ripts that pour in every week from unknown people, and for
ploughing a straight path through them. That was done by men like
Edward Marsh and Ford Madox Ford at one time. They printed pretty
well every name we know from the beinning of this century. People
like them could simply not get into traditional publishing today,
or perhaps would not want to. At any rate, they aren't there.
If you supported publishing with guarantees and subsidies
you would provoke competition among firms, far more than you
would directly help writers. But this is the f irst thing to be
done, as you have done it in the theatre. New houses would
start up (and the last twenty years have been barren of new
ventures because of the great financial risks): they might even
start in the provinces, among people not jaded by London life,
in Manchester or York or Sheffield or Nottingham. A Marsh or
Ford Madox Ford would hope to get a subsidy from you by his shere
enthusiasm and his ideas, as managers like Peter Cheeseman have
got it from you---and proved their value---in the theatre.
Some provincial theatres today are able to produce
to eight
new plays a year, which would be impossible on
enterprise.
anceate
I say the critics know nothing about this situation (that is,
they believe that the books published fairly represent the books
written) because that is my personal experience. One of my
latest (published) books was reviewed in The Times and The Times
Literary Supplement in more or less the same vein: why didn't
I write more? why wasn't I heard of more? I had no way of
explaining that out of the eleven books I have written, only
five were published, and these perhaps the less important but
subscribing to some 'line* imagined by the publisher to 'go',
though in fact one seals exactly the same number every time.
Publishers decide about books today irresppctive of their authors
and the body of his work: they take no notice of the fact (always
acknowledged in England hitherto) that he builds up an audience
slowly and for the most part invisibly, over the years. The
most important thing for a writer, as Arnold Bennet said, is
to get into print at least once a year, no matter how many he
sells or how he is reviewed.
It has come to the point where good reviews unless they are


at once supported by big sales damn an author in the eyes of
the publishing houses and make him a sort of marked man. 'Even if
I like the book and think it should be published,' T. the editor
says to himself (or one's agent), 'the public has proved that not
the finest reviews will lead it to buy this man." Sometimes it is
better for an English imaginative writer not to have published
at all, than to have published books which were well received by
the critics.
The plan only to give prizes and grants to writers must fail
because it doesn't tackle the real problem at all, namely the
difficulty of getting into print. The playwright bursaries you
give are only sensible because theatres exist to put the plays on,
and do put them on once the writer has got going. But they would
be useless if the theatres were tn the same situation as they were
ten or fifteen years ago. The plays written under your grants
would get no further than the writing. You may give a thousand
grants of a thousand pounds each to the writers of books, but you
will still not be able to guarantee publication. It is the
publisher whose security you must look to first, just as you
guaranteed the security of theatres up and down the land.
In fact, English publishing is exactly where the West End
theatre was ten or fifteen years ago: the editors, like the
managers of that time, 'give people what they wanti, and what
they want seems to be crime, detection and sex, supported by the
nineteenth century ideal of the Fast Moving Plot. The managers
of that time were proved wr ong by later events. A vast literary
public lay waiting for plays by people like Osborne and Wesker and
Pinter and lots of others. Few of these are rich men: but their
ideas are known. And this is what the publishing houses make
impossible today in the world of books. They have turned the
word 'literary' into S ome thing meaning recherché or luxury,
produced like poetry at great expense for no return (but Faber
and Faber I think have made money even out of that, through having
a real policy). But the theatre was not swamped by recherché
work when literary playwriting came into existence again: on the
contrary. Nor wili the book market be. There will be a similar
rush of ideas, which will make present publishing look just like
the West End of a dozen years ago-r-a graveyard, a worse eensor-
ship of opinion than any government c ould achieve without reper-
cussion.
Yours very sincerely,
Maurice Rowdon.

SYNOPSIS
Maurice Rowdon.
Their name is Volpati and they have always lived in
the country surrounding San Gimignano in Tuscany, working
the land.
There are three sons, all in their twen ties
now, and a tiny, black-haired mo ther wi thno teeth, her
face and hands shrivelled with work.
Their father was
killed in the last wari his cart and oxen were used by
the Germans for transporting ammunition; he was leading
the oxen through 8 stretch of woodland when one of the
cart-wheels ran over a landmine and he and the Germans
were killed when the ammunition blew up; the oxen broke
free and ran back to the farmhouse.
Angelo the eldest son is tall with black teeth,
and gangling and awkward especially with women (he days
he will never marry): unlike his bro thers he can still
remember his father.
He says he will stay on the land
all his life, with his mother: she is already getting
past work. He is reconciled to the land! he doesn't
ache for factory-work like the others; he isn't impatient,
he says, not the impatient type---and you need patience
for work on the land. Patience is exactly wha t Pietro
his younger brother has not got: he has great personal
flair--takes after his tiny mother who shouts and screams
her jokes; he is blond (his mother belongs by birth to
the Trento in the north) and has quick, understanding
eyes. As a child he used to paint.r--the Madonna and
Child, crucifixions, nativities. He will show us these
sketches: one Madonna and Child is bending with age and
damp now, om the mantelpiece, with a tiny electric bulb in
front of it, always alight. His mother will scream in
your ear, 'Isn't he an artist?'
Pietro hates the land,
and calls the rest of his family ignoranti
He sweeps
up the sodden hay in the stables with disgust, flicks the
calfs with a thick switch out of spite, making them clatter
about with their hoofs. He has to cut the grass for
forage, turning a great wheel, and hawl it into the stables:
there is no grazing land in this part of Italy.
He can't
bear the dull talk, above all the lack of money. He freewheeb
down the rocky path towards the village to save petrol on
his tiny scooter. Without money you can't have giirls, for
one thing. He worked as a truck driver for a few weeks--
Florence-Pal ermo and back. Then he threw his driving
licence into the pig trough while his mother screamed at
him: all the money in the world wouldn't drag him back
to that life.
There wasn't enough grace and dignity in
it. Above all Pietro wants somebody to talk to. This
is where the Italian woman is no good, he says: the moment
ya start taking out an Italian girl she sets her mind to
mean little money thoughts and before you know where you
are you are caught---on the land, for life, dreaming of
freedom every day, every hour of the day, like a dog.
No, give him the foreign woman.
Pietro is a ne'er-do-well: this is his reputation
with all the peasants. Afraid of work. His artistic
side is suspected. 'He doesn't like work'---this is all
they have to say ab out him. He says it about himself.
He wants to be off bathing in the summer, like the
foreigners he sees passing in their cars on the dusty
road below the hill. He feels closer to them than he
does to the peasants. And when he does get a lift it
doesn't seem at all strange to him, sitting in a long car:


he fits---in a car, on the beach, in a restaurant.
Whereas Angelo would grin and gangle and lope all the
time.
The third and youngest brother is Luigi, beaming with
health and bashful joy, as fat as a new pig, flushed, his
voice throaty. He takes a bit from each of the brothers:
awkward andi shy, but wi th fl ashes of understanding. He is
lazy without the imagination. He doesn't mind Italian
women. He yearns for nothing much more than he has, really.
He was the first to choose a life away from the land: for
the past five years he has worked in a furniture-making
shop in the village, pressing sheets of hardboard. He
can imagine no alternative to the Saturday night visits
to the village club (communist party rooms) and then the
cinema afterwards. Of the three only Pietro has learhed to
talk cogently.
The mother got a pension after the wars a tiny one
but enough to make the other peasants feel that she has
always been in a special position, without need of their
help. They put the laziness of the sons down to the
income. They resent the pension, They don't believe it
is right, really. There is something moralby wrong about
it for them, some thing decadent.
It amounts to about ten
or fifteen pounds a month. But they admire her. They say
she is a wordle erful worker.
They believe in social welfare--
which they have never enjoyed---but they resent this example
of it personally and with a trace of violent disgust.
She has had the rearing, all alone, of three sons,
from their earliest years: she has brought in the harvests---
wheat, wine, oil, maize, every year. She has never had
less than two head of cattle. Her boots are broken and
bent, and make her legs look like black sticks. Yet she
isn't old. When Angelo was old enough to work they began
to carry the other two as passengers, So Luigi and Pietro
grew up relatively idle.
Relatively---E because even so they
put in four or five hours of ploughing or hoeing or planting
evv
ry day.
The tiny house is high up, isolated at the edge of
woods thirty kilometres deep. People come and say they
wouldn't live there for a fortune, because there are no
neighbours: the Italian hates the countryside; there are
centuries of ignominy in it for him, The family lives mostly
in two tiny rooms: opposite their little house, raised by
an outdoor staircase above the cattle sheds, is a 'modern-
ised' little apartment where the Milanese owners of their
land come every summer, for two or three weeks of holiday.
The owmers give the Volpati family a good deal: instead
of the old-fashioned mezzadria, which divides the takings
and expenses of the land into two parts, one pelonging to
the owner and one to the peasant, on a fifty-fifty basds,
the family has the new legalised share of fifty-three
percent on the sale of the livestock, and take all the
crops, while the owners pay taxes and expsnses.
There
are few ktrarik padroni so good.
The air up here is good
too. But the land is hard work, being stony. The wine
is poor, usually less than ten degrees of alcohol.
And
it is a long
climb up to the house, along a narrow
rocky path that gleams in the sun, with fossils millions
of years old strewn everywhere, as if the volcanic eruption
from the sea-bed had happened only a few years ago. The
earth is red, from the volcanic lava that poured over it and
baked it---"Siena red'. Snakes, mostly harmless grass
snakes but sometimes vipers, windi across this path, or


MEMO: COMPANION GUIDE TO UMBRIA.
Umbria is much more closely packed with interest
than first meets the eye.
It has three or four Roman sites
which taught me more than Ostia and Pompei.
There is probably
the largest Etruscan collection (Perugia, Orvieto) in the
world, and new sites have been found in the last few years.
A study of the frescoes gives a more or less complete history
of Christian art, and the churches do the same for archistecture.
Almost every town provides a miniature history froa Roman times
to the period of bland Vatican government in the sixteenth
century.
The province has above all an important religious
history: the church would have collapsed without St. Francis,
to my mind; St. Benedict was Umbrian too.
So a lot of
background has to be given which is not necessary in the case
of a towa like, say, Venice, where the baroque predominates and
a fairly simple line can be folloved.
Besides which, there
are a great many Umbrian festivals and customs that have sur-
vived because of the proviace's geographical wit thdrawal from
the rest of Italy: Assisi's Calendimaggio (May Day celebrations)
is the finest pageant I have seen in my life, and is worth
quite a few pages alone, apart from Christmas in Assisi, Easter
in Assisi.
Therefore the book has to be big, about two hundred
thousand words, with at least forty photographs, to be anything
like complete.
The greatest single reason for this is Assisi.
It is the most visited town in Umbria, with two million tourists
and pilgrims annually from every part of the world; twelve
thousand of these are British---the highest proportion of the
non-Italian tourists.
There is a lot to describe---the beginn-
ings of the Renascence, in the frescoes of the Basilica of St.
Francis; you have to give the lives of St. Francis and St.
Clare, to make the town comprenensible; you have to fill in
the history of the Franciscan order a bit. And the town itself
is as complete a survival from the middle ages as there is any-
where.
Writing less than 50,000 words on it would not benefit
the book.
Backrround has to be provided for the reader who
doesn't know what was new about Cimabue and Giotton and how
they connect with St. Francis.
Were it not for Assisi the book
could be got comfortably inside 150,000 or even 120,000.
The followiag is my estimate of the length needed
(only a few villages and a general survey of the province remain
to be done, as far as actual fieldwork goes, so the estimate
is pretty exact):


at once supported by big sales damn an author in the eyes of
the publishing houses and make him a sort of marked man. 'Even if
I like the book and think it should be published,' the editor
says to himself (or one's agent), the public has proved that not
the finest reviews will lead it to. buy this man.' Sometimes it is
better for an English imaginative writer not to have published

grants of a thousand pounds each to the writers of books, but you
will still not be able to guarantee publication. It is the

7 villages (Acquasparta, Bettona, etc)..... 10.000.
TOTAL..
This estimate includes environs of towns, country routes,
Roman sites, festivals etce My estimate of 200,000 words is
a ceiling figuro: I should work for as short a book as possible.
TITLE or DUST JACKET. My experience is that few
know where Umbria is, even educated ones. I think either the
title or the dust jacket should include a reference to Assisi,
and preferably to Perugia and Spoketo too.
I suggest a kind
of PANORNNA MAP of the kind they did in the middle ages, all
out of proportion, for the dust jacket, with the, towns actually
painted or symbolised as they look: with their names written in
sort of script round them:
Further draft of £250?
I hope to have the complete text with photographs
and maps in by October 1st this year.


reading. There was a quite violent theatre politics,
which held the interest of the whole city.
Any subject
ancient or modern was dramatised---Fielding's Tom Jones
was one.
But it had to be theatre of aharc character
and humour: a new tragedy was once tried and the audience
virtually walked out.
The Commedia dell' Arte lay deep
in Italy's past, an improvised theatre with iasks and set
characters: it was Goldoni who revived comedy wi th char-
acters taken from life, following a plot, with a moral
edge.
He made the comedy contemporary---Brighella and
Harlequin and Isabella became the actual people of Venice.
Carlo Gozzi was the opposite of Goldoni, all fantasy, and
very literary, with his fairy tales of the Venetian past,
like a mirage : but he was the same in wanting to entertain,
and making that the mark of his work.
His brother
Gaspero, almost the Republic's official poet, was elegant
at all costs, another version of the same ab ambition.
Performance, skill, flourish---these were the important
things for Venice, with a melancholy undertone that was
almost a self-reminder that something was wrong.
There had always been a dark side to the city: it
was the place of spies and unexplained murders. An
interesting source of little stories here will be I Agenti
segreti veneziani nel 700' which consist of reports of State
informers taken from official records at the time.
There was a great taste for leg-pulling, an outspoken
humour in costume and speech,
There was no fear of
ridicule. Eccentricity was an assertion of your skill
and freedom, a kind of artistic claim in a society where
only art counted, though it must be baroque art.
A priest
called Testa coliected spiders and slept with a rat in his
bed, and enjoyed great social vogue: a close friend of
Manin's. He did almost every job from juggler to gondolier.
Versatility-- --a riot of gifts and ambitions in one person,
with the simple object of showing prowess in all things
(and therefore not quite seriousness in anything). The
most versatile of ail was Casanova.
He was a violinist,
a cardinal's secretary, a sailor, before he was twenty.
He was thrown out of a priest's seminary and he was im-
prisonede.
He learned Horace
heart.
After years
of self expression he wore out the patience even of the
Venetian republic and was arrested (1755).
Scandal was
his whole life.
A typically Venetian extravagance and
vanity (or rather a frenzied will to pursue vain things)
pervaded his life.
He was a spy, he started a cotton
printing works, he was a financier, a historian and


hang from a tree. From the path you look across the
lovely valley of the Elsa river. But these things only
interest Pietro. The other two have no minds for sea-
shells, time, lovely valleys and the thought of journeys
AEXXXKE abroad that seem so near and are so far...
The young Englishman who gives him a lift to the
coast along the dusty road and looks more Italian than
he does makes it all possible. It seems almost as if
Pietro had drawn him to this spot. The visitor stays
with them, is on the loose. He begins to learn a quite
different life. His skin changes. He and Pietro go out
for girls in Poggibonsi, when they earn enough. Gradually
SEXI we see two minds drawing together, from a great distance
apart: at first no differences had seemed to exist. But
they approach girls differently. Pietro talks badly about
one of the village girls because she lets him kiss her:
he warns off the other boys---she is not to be married.
The visitor is surprised, shocked: that is one of the
differences.
Pietro wants a job--abroa,d And the visitor gets it
for him, by talking to a German tourist on the village square.
The work permi t arrives, Pietro applies for a passport.
It will be in Frankfurt. In a mood of family-soliderity
he applies for a passport for his brot ther Luigi too.
They bo th set off, Pietro and Luigi. The visitor sees them
off, ExzhtsZHeNzaaskyzanix the mot ther is in tears.
Only Angelo seems happy, underneath. He likes being alone
with his mot ther. And there are two fewer mouths to feed.
The peasants all round are sceptical: Pietro and
Luigi wili return soon, they say, when they feel the sting
of hard work. Because the Germans work. Everybody knew
that they would return.
But only Luigi returned, shamefaced.
His reason
was that the Germans ate no spaghetti, which had given him
indigestion. How the Germans could starve themselves on
pork, potatoes, black bread and things like that he couldn't
see, he said with guilty eyes. He wouldn't face the
Englishman. Pietro would return too, he said. But
Pietro didn't. By local standards he was earning simply
fabulous money. He began sending money back to his
mother. She began to look younger. Angelobegan to
feel less like work than ever before. He strolled through
the village in the evenings looking ridiculous, his hands
in his pockets. They left their house on the hill and
took one in a black dip, next to the village garbage heap.
Then Angelo and Luigi went out as day workers, on someone
else's farm, paid by the hour. They no longer hadm wine,
oil, cattle. They bought everything from the village shops,
proudly.Saxskax Gradually local opinion altered: Pietro
was the worker, while the rest of the family---even the
mot ther now---were idlers. The Englishman took their
house on the hill over: under the astonished, watchful
eyes of the Milanese owners he began working the land, as he
had learned it with the Volpati. But this time he is
alone. No one wall ks up the hill to help him, They want
a wage for that, and he has no money to give. Gradually
it gets on top of him. He aims a blow at one of the
cattle---the first thing he saw Pietro do several months
before, and he had taken the switch out of Pietro's hand
angrily. He swears at the land, its sones stones, the
little rivers that formed in a night of rain, the grind
uphill behind the oxen, the filth that formed in the
stables every two hours.
And he fled, as Pietro had,


only he has no one to see him to the statton.
He gives
away his cattle, stables, crops, for which the local
peasants think hiim genially and admirably mad, whereas
they would think any Italian who did it evilly mad.
We see the Englishman eyeing the passing cars of foreign
toursits with the same anguished yearning ES we once saw
on Pietro's face. And he gets his lift, to the sea
He basks in the free, leisurely conversation of the
tourists.
ANd they take him under their wing---to the
frontier.


SECOND SYNOPSIS
MAURICE ROWDON
The story of a man who believes that life is exactly
as it 'used to be', and indeed quite normal and natural.
The face of things is their nature for him. He eats a
new white bread advertised by TV and has violent stomach
ache afterwards, but doesn't---cannot---connect the two.
What his body does has no connection with what he puts
into it, for him. Fish and chips, hot Bork pies, are not
what they taste of--they are almost static symbols: his
palate 'wondres' at the taste, ready to be convinced of
anything. On glowering stormy days he feels angry for no
re ason, and cannot remember doing so 'in the old days',
and when he reads of magnetic storms caused by stratospheric
experiments, thought to cause madness, he wonders, wonders
again, but cannot connect.
He is on the same terms with his TV sets its little
lies---the lies that cover every inch of English life, and
makes it the most publicity-gripped life in Europe---are not
exactly the truth for him, they are less questionable than
that: they are simply reality.
His boss is, as we quickly
see, not the man he says good morning to: our hero has
erected the boss into something of his own, and the boss's
actual dirty and crooked dealings, letting people down who
need him and obliging those whom he needs, are again simply
reality for him, not questionable in any way. The When
spring cccurs in January, and floods and unbelievable storms
are reported in clement Italy, it is still all reality for
him with its sane and rational basis, not connected with
abnormality in any way.
The man on TV who explains that
it is due to this or that cyclone is quite enough for him.
The local doctor whose face is a picture of inexcusable ill-
health, who smokes and lolls and plays out his si lly role
of the bedside manner to people whose diseases frighten and
bewilder him, and for whom his drugs are not just useless but
merderously harmful, is for our hero a smooth, knowing
reservoir of cures. The politician who is insular and
ignorant of any form of life but his own and basically
hostile to it, is 'his man', and even the conservative
opponent, a public school bully whose bullying has been
moderated by the collapse of the business classes since the
last war, is for him what he cynically sets himself up to
be, a gentleman---of all things. We hear the two politicians

4.- La violazione
in realtà Casa Campardi,
tanto più grave
quanto


pur usata da entrambi i coniugi in costanza di
matrimonio, è di proprietà della sola ricorrente,
come risulta dal doc. 10, ossia dall'atto di
acquisto dell'immobile del 28 febbraio 1967 a
rogiti notaio Vannisanti,
repertorio, registrato a Poggibonsi il 2 marzo 1967
ETURTAL n. 193 e trascritto presso la Conservatoria dei
gistri immobiliari di Siena (doc. 11).
Epud aggiungere che, come risulta dal punto 5
Sdell'accordo del gennaio 1977, l'acquisto di Casa
Campardi fu effettuato con un prestito concesso dal
Fischer Family Trust, ossia dal trust creato dalla
famiglia della ricorrente.
Tutto cid va detto,
ovviamente, per una più
completa illustrazione della fattispecie,
dal
momento che il provvedimento che si richiede
all'Ill.mo Pretore è semplicemente volto ad
ottenere il rispetto dell'accordo del gennaio 1977
stipulato fra le parti, in relazione all'uso di
Casa Campardi.
5.- La realtà è pertanto che il Sig. Rowdon usa da
oltre sei mesi di Casa Campardi per risiedervi in
modo continuativo, in violazione dell'accordo del
1977 sull'uso del bene, e non mostra alcuna seria

Dear Mr Rowd n,
Please excuse the delay in writing to
you about your play, ESKIMO TRANCE. I've just had
pneumonia, and am in fact still C nfined to bed, sO
all my Aldwych affairs are now completely haywire.
I've sent ESKIMO TRANCE back to Margery
Vosper. I admire the pllay very much indeed, but for
various reasons it isn't a suitable play for any Aldwych
repertory. The Aldwych is a very large theatre, and
any new play we put on has to be 'big' (in the physical
sense) or 'strong' (in the thematic sense). Also, the
very few new plays that we are able to mount have to compete
with the classics which will also be in the rep pertory
next year and the year after. I think ESKIMO TRANCE
would have more chance of success in a smaller, more
intimate theatre.
I've now received the script of
MECHANICAL SAW, and am looking forward to reading
this. I'll write to again just as soon as I've had
a chance to get at it.
Yours sincerely,
umy

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
I notice there is still a small overdraft on your
Joint Account which has been outstanding for some little
time, and feel I should perhaps write to you in this
matter just in case funds you could possibly have remitted
from abroad might have gone astray.
The overdraft at the present time is 848.6s.10d., and
I shall be glad if you will kindly let me know when funds
by way of adjustment can be expected.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
Thank you for both your letter of 9th and
12th November. I note what you now say,and will only
send out initially ESKIMO TRANCE, THE MECHANICAL SAW
and THE REGULATOR.
I will keep MAN CALLED APOLLO for the moment,
and I am most grateful for the brief synopsis of this
play and the three other earlier ones which will be
valuable. Incidentally, I have received to date
two copies of ESKIMO TRANCE from Stoke, one copy of
THE REGULATOR from Margery Vosper and one copy each
of THE MECHANICAL SAW and MAN CALLED APOLLO from you
in Italy.
Thank you too for the background information
for which I asked. This is just what I wanted and once
I have the other script copies we can go ahead.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Dennis Andrews

Dear Margery,
Many thanks for yours. I hear from Stoke that you have
got the Arts council guarantee from them, they are still reel-
ing from you apparently. Everybody seems at everybody's throat
this year, which is perfectly all right as it was written for
everybody to see in the constellation, SO they say. Even de
Gaullesaid, we're going to see some fun this year.
Partly this letter is to stop you sending me any money
if you were thinking of doing so, at least until we've talked.
I imagine you will have to put me down as domic: iled abroad,
that being what I am, and this means my los: ing a third in tax
right away, at source. Unless you can send me the money as an
Adavance on Overseas Earnings (Collins have been doing this for me,
and it comes tax free) I would leave the money with you for the
time being. Overseas Earnings might be implied in my contract
with the Victoria, Stoke on Trent, but I don't remember and I
can't get at my files at the moment because of decorators.
Do you have any further copies of ESKIMO TRANCE? Long ago
Will uadflieg (I don't know if you are up in German theatre but
I suppose one would say he is their Gielgud) asked me if I would
ever write a part he could do in Hamburg. And he writes now
that he would like to see this play. I cantt decipher his home
address so if you are agreeable would you send it to
Herrn Wil Quadflieg
Schauspielhaus,
HAMBURG,
Don't you think we should try to interest David Scase at
Liverpool in another play of mine? I'm reluctant to let them
stand still. I was thinking perhaps of the ELAINE I told you
about, which Christopher Mann tried so hard to place (in town
only). It is X very much a nat turalistic play, a woman of 45
sets on her nephew of 21 believe it or not, without being risque,
which Scase thought MECHANICAL SAW was. It is a very teapotty
sort of play if you see what I mean, and I wondered if you think
it up his S treet, which will mean me sedning you the one copy.
Of course, after Christams. I mean, if they do all my plays at
Stoke it's going to take 5 years before I draw up to what I'm
writing now.
Of course I should remind you here ( as I think I did the
sending) that Scase seemed very nearly to want to do MECH SAW
but thought he couldn't get it past his own board or even his own
conscience.


Fischer Verlag did buy this one (ELAINE) long ago.
Stefanie's predecessor, a very man of the theatre who smoked cigars
all the time and wore tartan shirts, did the buying, and was
interesting some of the managements in it when he was swept out of
his job for conducting orgies on the top floor after office hours.
The play was translated by a Swiss lady who had translated a book
of mine, and it was considered bad and was then re-done entirely
by one of the best chaps in Germany. Maria Becker read it in the
English and said she would do it at the Zurich schauspielhaus and
would expect exclusive and first performânce rights. These were
then denied, how or why I'm not clear, but I woke up to find they
had been, and that I had lost a friend (the finest actress in the
German speaking World to my mind). There the play remained,
exquisitely translated, published and unperformed.
And that is my Christmas tale, Margery. All the best to
you and very merry Christmas,
Yours,
lunsi - .
P.S. By the way, if you wanted to write to Dr. Ronte in
Bochum (I'm so sorry, I don't remember if that is really his
name, I'm quite upside down at the moment) to limit the time
ESKIMO
of the ir reading its as a sort of option, please do. I mean,

he is passing the script on to the theatre.

Dear Maurice,
Thanks for your letter which the Christmas mail has delayed
till now. I didn't realise you had rows like that with
Margey - sounds very exciting. Our row as you suspected was
very mild and charming and all fizzled out once we had paid up.
In the end, writess and theatres can do without agents, not the
other way round. We had a similar row with Peggy Ramsey over
the subsidy payment I I suppose they aren't used to the scheme
yet.
11.30 p.m. and trying to get clear before wit we retire for
Christmas. Everybody else has set off in fast cars for London.
The theatre is marvellously quiet and peaceful. Have a gentle,
drunken, well-fed Christmas.
Love to you both,

Sorry not to have answered your note of
October 21st before but I have been trying to chase
up a copy of MECHANICAL SAW to send to the Arts Council.
As you know one copy was with Peter Cheeseman and the
other with the Questors Theatre. They said they returned
it to us but there is no trace of their letter or of
its coming ba ack. They think now that they may have
returned it to you. Could you let us know if this is
the case or if you have another copy you could let us
have. We have sent the Arts Council THE REGULATOR.
Yours,

Dear Sir,
I Wonder if you would very kindly provide me with a
Letter of Guarantee addressed to Whomever It May Concern,
guaranteeing that I will not sell my car in Italy. The
Itelian-Foreign Office. is preparing an EE (foreign export)
licence plate for me as it does for those British Embassy
officials not classed as diplomatic personnel. The letter
I require should be predi@sly of the formula used in their
case, for forwarding to the Italian Foreign Office.
The EE licence plate is also given, as you may know,
to English writers and journalists for whom the British
Embassy has made application. This is the category under
which application has been made for me. I have asked the
Embassy here in Rome to write to you confirming this.
I am on commission and under contract to the publishers
Messrs Collins Ltd., St. Jamests Place, London, for the
production of one of their Companion Guides to Italy, and the
new licence plate is intended to facildtate this work. My
agent, with power to negotiate rights and handle monies, is
David Higham Associates Ltd., 76 Dean Street, W.C.1., and Mr
David Bolt will answer any enquiries there for me.
My car is a Fiat 1500 L e At present it has the licence
plate 240-Z-6344.
The engine number is 161 655, and the chassis
number is 129-118 009. In case it is relevant my passport is
numbered C. 80071 and was issued in Florence 25th September 1956
and renewed in Rome 24th September 1967. I am already fully
accredited at the Italian Foreign Office as a foreign journalist.
Yours sincerely,
Maurice Rowdon.

Dear Maurice:
I sent a sharpish note off to Collins this morning,
but that's irritating of them I and actually a bit unlike
Collins I'd have said. But there you are, let's see what they
say now.
I do agree that Alexander Fullerton is an excellent
editor I we discussed all that of course at the time, but alas
he's no longer with Peter Davies, but with Hutchinson in charge
of their paperback series, where he can't be much help to us in
this particular case. I could go back to the present editorial
director there, but I don't think that's what you mean, is it?
AFTERWARDS was declined by Heinemann. I then went
back to Gollancz again without success and am now trying The
Bodley Head. I don't think Chapman & Hall came close enough to
make a second try there worthwhile, Maurice. But there are
plenty of publishers we haven't tried.
All for now.
Yours,
Dana

Dear Maurice,
AFTERWARDS
I see your point, but don't know that I altogether agree with it.
The trouble is, that one publishers meat is anothers poison, and I certainly
wouldn't recommend paying too much attention to the remarks of a particular
publisher unless he's going to commit himself to publishing a revised version
or at the very least express a strong interest in doing so. If length were
the trouble a publisher would generally be prepared to draw up a contract
subject to the author's cutting. We do this all the time. If you yourself
feel dissatisfied and want to make alterations then that's another matter. At
present it's with Chapman & Hall, having been declined by Eyre & Spottiswoode
and Hamish Hamilton.
Here's the score on the other books:-
LETTER FROM SIENA:- Gollancz(twice), Bodley Head, Hutchinson, Mac cmillan,
Methuen, Cape, Hodder, Chapman & Hall, Barker, Collins and Faber.
WAITING FOR MELLI:- Gollancz, Secker, Hutchinson, Joseph, Gollancz(2nd)
Cresset Press, Faber and Longmans.
TALES AND TRAVELS:- Gollancz.
JANET:- Gollancz, Eyre & Spottiswoode, Hodder, Longmans, Hamilton,
Hart-Davis, Joseph, MacGibbon, Chatto, Peter Davies, Collins and Faber.
NIGHT OF THE ECLIPSE:- Heinemann, Chatto, Faber, Collins, Cape, Secker,
Bodley Head, Andre Deutsch, Eyre & Spottiswoode, Peter Davies, Hutchinson, Hodder
and Gollancz.
I made a firm note tha t AFTERWARDS is not to go to Cape or Bodley Head.
But I'd love to know why.
Yours,
AURUR/ES reasonable care is taken of MSS. while in our possession we can accept no responsibility for any loss or damage thereto.

Mr. Maurice Rowdon,
Via Giulia 102,
Rome,
Italy.
Dear Mr. Rowdon,
Very many thanks for your letter of March 21st.
It is a little difficult to know how to reply, except to say that
of course we shall be glad to consider any manuscript that you
send to us. Perhaps you would send it to me personally and I will
make sure that it gets proper consideration without delay. It might
be helpful if you could let me have at the same time a brief outline
of your publishing history, so to speak, in order that we may have
the full picture. Are you quite free of options and other obligations?
I think we would also need to know who your agents are, though of course
we would not get into touch with them without consulting you first.
We are always anxious to publish good books in which
we feel confident, but obviously I cannot reply in general terms and
any decision must be related to a particular manuscript.
I look forward to hearing from you again and we will
certainly do our best, though I am sure you will understand that I
cannot make any kind of commi itment at the moment.
With kind regards, 9
Yours sincerely,
lctu

Dear Maurice,
I feel I owe you a lot of letters but the number of crises we
have been involved in has continued, the latest one has been a
particularly virulent form of flu which knocked us all on our
backs for a fortnight, in fact we still feel very weak from
it - it may be MATA HARI who has caused this upset as you say,
but I am sure a lot of people would put it down to MACBETH.
Most actors, jyou know, won't even mention his name and refer to
him as "The Scottish Gentleman", he is very renowned for
causing trouble. Anyway the long and short of it is that in
the end Peter was unable to read any of the plays I had
short-listed - that is the new plays i and you may have noticed
that our last playlist only included two plays on it instead
of the normal three for this reason, Sometime during the next
fortnight he really has to get down and read a whole lot of
new plays otherwise the next leaflet printing will be on us
and we still shalln't know what we are doing, hence
MECHAVICAL SAW is still unread. Hence our silence on the matter,
which I hope hasn't worried you.
Maurice, I don't myse lf think it is a good idea to do it one
at a time as you
I myself would prefer to have copies
of as many
have written. Then I would make a real
effort to read
all. Then we would know just which play
RES
we would like to put on next. As it is we are only cônsidering
one play which does limit our choice. So please if you have
any others lying about do send them to us as soon as possible.
And don't worry about whether it is comedy or a tragedy or how
many characters it has or whebher you think we can cast it, it
is surprising what we can do when we want to.
Continued..


Maurice Rowdon Esq.,
Continuation 1.
Is the play you sent to Michael Codron a new one ? Don't
forget that we want to do your plays. Other Managements
are starting from scratch as it were. I've heard anyway
that Michael Codron has not had much success lately and is
going a bit carefully. If there is a great play you've
written which isn't a comedy we'll just do it later in the
season. I think the next new play we do after UNCIE VANYA
has to be a comedy though.
A SMASHING DAY has closed in London as we expected it would
and Bob and Khrish are now out of work. Peter went down to
London and saw the production which he said was an utter
shambles. Apparently the producer fell ill half way through
and Brian Epstein decided he could produce it himself. Hence
the shambles.
About Pirandello. We really must do one of his plays one
day, We have already a huge stack of translations of his
work donéby an old friend of ours whom you may ha ve heard
of, Frederick May. So I don't suppose there is a great deal
of point in your re-translating just at the moment. But it
certainly is a thing to talk to Peter about at some time. I
don't know how good Frederick's translations are.
Peter Terson hasn't written four novels as far as I knowe He
has written dozens of plays and recently he did some
biographical fragments about his childhood in Newcastle-on-Tyne.
But nothing he has ever written has been published apart from
one or two newspaper articles.
le only heard of the Arts Councils decision in an un-official
way so don't know exactly why they made the decision they did.
We do gather that after a period of doling out bursaries
generously they have clamped down. All the same we were very
sad to hear of their decision and do hope you aren't
desperately disappointed about it. However, the fact that
they have asked to see later work does sound a bit helpful.
For the record,we now have three or four copies of MECHANICAL
SAW sent to us from the Arts Council from yourself and from
Kargery. We have sent to Margery Vosper ten scripts of ESKIMO
TRANCE which is just about all the spare scripts there are
at the moment. We originally Sent two to the Arts Council,
one to the Lord Chamberlain, one to the Foyle Trust etc. etc.,
and of course some were used up in production irretrievably.
Continued...


Maurice Rowdon Esq.,
Continuation 2.
I have explained this to Margery Vos per so that she knows she
has most of the extant copies. I do hope she doesn't lose theme
But we obviously can't hang on to them ourselves and risk you
losing second production.
Kate has settled down at school much better now and has
stopped thumping people. She even seems to be enjoying school
and is doing marvellous collageSand other works of art. Let
us know how you both are and we hope we shall see you soon.
In any case I hope I shall be able to write to you again
shortly about MECHANICAL SAW. Love from us all.

Dear Mr. Rowden,
Thank you very much for your letter of 12th January with
your interesting views and comments about the publishing situation.
We have not yet embarked on detailed plans of programme for the
Literature Panel and we shall certainly give grateful consideration
to the suggestions you make for which I am indeed very much obliged.
We have had informal discussions covering the proposal you have in
mind. However, it presents difficulties, and nor were we entirely
convinced from what we had heard that there is a real problem about
"getting into print". But these are all matters we shall examine
in greater detail and I hope the decision we come to, and the
actions we ultimately take, will commend themselves to you.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Maurice,
NIGHT OF THE ECLIPSE
It was, of course, you and not we who offered this to
Heinemann - or didn't offer it - and I do have a note that it was
an unrevised edition they saw. James Michie is,as you probably
know,with the Bodley Head, and has been for some time. AFTERVARDS
is with Chapman & Hall still, and if they decline I'll try Heinemann,
Honestly no, I don't think there's any point in offering
these short stories right now. They are simply that much more
difficult to place than novels.
All for the moment.
Yours,

38 Lennox Gardens,
24th January 1966.
Dear Maurice,
I'm fascinated by your letter to the
Arts Council. I'm with you in spirit, but suffer
from the dichotomy of being author and agent, and
see too often the other side of the coin.
I think the idea of a: subsidy to publishers,
rather than authors, is a good one; except that
I'm not sure I know who would be qualified to judge
the work involved. In a sense, and among the better
publishers, I have the feeling that this is already
in operation. But I'll come to that.
Twice over you tilt at windmills, I'm sure -
or perhaps it is the same windmill. I mean, Pub-
lishers, and Public Schools; neither of which are
nearly so bad as they are painted. In the first
place, Public Schools surely deserve three cheers
from authors everywhere if they inculcate into at
least some of their pupils that love of literature
which sends them into Publishing, a- notoriously
unremunerative (though no doubt respectable) field
of endeavour. Most of the publishers I know are,
perhaps curiously, not only agreeable but on the
whole able people. The non-public school few, in
the main mid-Europeans, are more successful but
generally in publishing for (from your point of
view and mine) the wrong reasons: to make money.
Sometimes, they do. They make money for authors
also. What they don't do, is to do anything at all
for authors who have not already established their
reputations through the public school publishers.
They buy the finished product - and at at good
price. They have, as Jesus said, their reward.
We, the agents, have ours to be sure. I spend a
deal of time steering my more successful authors
away from them. But not always.
But what I feel is that the sort of long-
lost publisher you mourn is still with us. Which
brings me back to my first paragraph. You see
the publisher as one who feeds an ever-increasing,
appetitite for crime, detection (an odd one, that)
and sex, in order to make money. I can't offhand
think of any publisher who does only that. What


most do, more or less, is to cash in on this appetite
to make money, which inter alia allows them to publish
works of value but little commercial value, which other-
wise they couldn't afford to risk. Perhaps your grants
would arrive at this answer by a different route.
What I find curious is your suggestion that, with
these grants, publishers might spring up in Manchester
or Nottingham. Because these are the very place from
which our currently (and commercially) most successful
authors spring. A north country accent hasn't been
more de rigueur since Priestly. Remember, these are
"discovered" or at least chosen, and published by your
public schooi publishers.
But even more, I hesitate to place the blame for
the admittedly dreadful state of publishing today. I
agree entirely that the wrong sort of books are getting
all the limelight; the smallest hint of a genuine
talent is hailed as genius...for a week or two. Books
are accorded the ephemeral accolade (if you can have
an ephemeral accolade) of the pop record, the Top
Twenty Books This Week (doornails next week). One can
sympathise with the public, of course. If nobody can
possibly keep up with This Week's publications, ka what
ever should we do if we were asked to consider the
books published over the last century as well? And yet
I do believe that good, and worthwhile books are published.
I don't think paperback publishers find the methods
of hardcover publishers "laughable". There simply is no
comparison. Compare the paperback market with: that for,
say, Omo or Daz. You imply, you see, that the paperback
chaps are somehow better. Commercially yes, because
theg flog a commercial product. Some don't even read
the books they publish. They don't need to. What they
rely on is the books' previous success in hardcover,
together with the hardcover reviews. Paperbacks
aren't reviewed, we know. They are among those who
stand on the backs of the public-school boys.
The last twenty years have certainly not been
barren of new publishing houses; they have been ex-
tremely fruitful. Most have gone bust.
You imply that "the critics" are important, and
should (and don't) know the true situation. But most
of the critics are among the "pop" boys. Brain reviews
Amis and so on, all day long, even into the academic
world.
Your most unkind cut is that Gollancz published
your books as a purely commercial venture. All I need
say to that, is that Victor himself would be deeply
hurt by it. And it isn't true. And of course publishers
kkow that authors build reputations slowly - the best
ones.


What a publisher can't do more than seldom is to make
an actual loss on a book. Obviously. If he breaks
even, covering overheads, kE and retains his initial
faith in the author, he will go on.
Arnoldt Bennet's saying (new to me).is one of
the silliest I've heard for a long time. I can think
of nothing worse for an author than to have published
(and announce that he has published) thirty books
nobody has ever heard of. Far, far better to have
published one successful book twenty years ago. Or
let us say, a distinguished book.
I despise much criticism. But the critics we
must have. Otherwise, who is to say a book is "good"?
The author? The publisher? We must have an impartial
judge, however ill-informed. Good reviews can do
nothing but good, however. Damn an author they never
have. All you are really saying is that a publisher
may decline a book in spite of previous, favourable,
reviews. It is surely absurd to imagine anything more
sinister than this. True, "literary" reviews may put
off the man in the street; and often do. "Bit above
my head", he says. He may be right. Whose fault is
that? Wessen Schult?
Howard Spring, the best-selling English novelist
at the time of his death got few, and sneering reviews.
Remember, reviews are London. Not England, or the
English-speaking world. But he was an old hand who
broke through ahead of our present problems.
As I see it, the problem is this: there are too
many books, first. Out of this vast mass, the public
can humanly consider only a tiny percentage. So they
have to choose, and be guided. Of course, they choose
first their favourites: a yachtsman, books on sailing.
In fiction, old favourites. But what of the new ones?
There are many, each year, which would appeal to a great
number of people = every book has a potential market
far vaster than anything it ever reaches. How to reach
that market? Advertising is too expensive; it throws
the publisher back on those books which will appeal to
the mass market. Otherwise it will turn profit into
loss. The excellent, free publicity of the Press
is limited by News Value - and the mass market again,
more often than not. First rate novels are seldom News.
I think we have to wait until the pendulum swings,
as it will and must, back to a public appreciation of
real values. I must rush.
Yours ever,
hand.

An apology from the Committee of Management
MEMBERS whose recent orders were delayed or delivered incomplete
deserve an apology, an explanation and an assurance.
First, the Committee very much regrets the difficulties encoun-
tered by many members, not only in delivery, but in securing replies
to theirjustifiable enquiries.
Secondly, although the transfer of our cellars and office was a
carefully planned operation for which the Society had the assistance
of its business consultants, it was the move which was the prime
cause ofthe delays and incomplete orders. The ensuing failures were
largely owing to causes which would have been hard to anticipate
and avoid.
The main sources of these difficulties were:
(a) the delayed opening on October 18th of our bond from which
we expected to draw replacement stocks; the opening date was the
responsibility of H.M. Customs. As a result, we had to draw our
replacement stock for the 600 items on our list from London cellars
and bonds (over thirty miles away), each involved in its own
Christmas problems;
(b) our members' accounts department and records being, for good
reasons ofstaff and equipment, still in London; consequently queries
involving the cellars at Stevenage and members' records in London
have been difficult and time consuming;
(c) willing, but new and inexperienced staff at Stevenage;
(d) delays by overseas suppliers in fulfilling orders placed in good
time;
(e) delays and some misrouting by the railway.
As a result, correspondence from members regarding delays
assumed snowball proportions and our staff were unable to give
prompt replies.
Finally members may be assured that steps are being taken to
ensure that the service to members will be restored to its customary
level of efficiency, and further improved as the advantages of our
new premises take effect.

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
Thank you for your very kind letter of November 26th.
Please rest assured that English publishers, including ourselves, are
desperately anxious to make money. What happened here, I am afraid, is
just one of those things.
To start with, you are on our mailing list and ought to have
received our catalogue, but though you may consider this tit for tat, the
Italian mail is supposed to go astray at times. Be that as it may, here
is our last list - or lists in the plural - of both Barrie & Jenkins titles.
The next ones are just in preparation and you will get them.
Above all, I should very much like to reciprocate the sentiments
expressed in your letter and should you and/or your wife come to London at
any time, Bobby and I will be very pleased to meet you again.
With kindest, regards
of us to both of you, aw The

Dear Maurice,
Peter has asked me to write to you to see if you have any
scripts around that the Arts Council haven't got their hands
on as it's time we started thinking concretely about which
play of yours we are going to put on next.
Shamol
ttae
€ esemt Llauce
He is very interested in THE MECHANICAL SAW Grpalgd and
will
remember I sent the copy I had to the Arts Council. Have
you got that faint copy you mentioned still?
I read MAN CALLED APOLLO a long time ago and just couldn't
think how to write to you about it. What I want to say is
so vague and hard to pin down that it really needs talking
about, not writing. I enjoyed it enormously, but I think
I enjoyed it in the way one enjoys a novel it was a
personal experience - and I think I would have enjoyed it
8 lot less, might even have been embarrassed, or cynical,
or found it whimsical or soppy - if I had experienced it at
the same time as a lot of other people. You see what I
mean about vagueness - this is nothing I can really pin down,
expept I felt you, the author, were writing to one person and
not to a group. Obviously I can't know how true a feeling
this is until it's actually presented on a stage. But does
it strike you as a possibiliy? I mean that you wrote it
like that. I felt the ideaof putting songs in would intrude
something brash and objective into something fragile and
subjective.
I may have misread the whole thing.
However, it does make sense to me that ESKIMO TRANCE may have
taught you a great deal about how to handle an audience and
that anything you write after it stands a better chance of
being a good play(as epposed to a good piece of writing) than
something you wrote a while ago. Have you written anything
since?


It seems ages since we heard from you. Do hope all goes
well.
We have just had, are having, an even worse crisis than when
I last wrote. Then Peter had had to take over MATA HARI half
way through rehearsals and so lost his three week spell of
being able to rest a little and catch up on administration.
Then just as he was relaxing after getting the Christmas show
on, Brian Epstein decided he would like Krish Banji and Bob
Powell to play the music in his West End production of Alan
Plater's SMASHING DAY which we did here last spring. Nothing
more ludicrous can you imagine = we have highly trained and
experienced actors, but he's not interested. W e have two
boys who play the guitar and mouth organ rather badly as a
side-line they did at school together, and the Beatles' manager
wants them....
Well Bob had left by then, in the train of Fiona, so he was
free, but Krish wasn't, and at first Peter wouldn't let him go
on such short notice.
But Krish proved so sulky and selfish
about it, that in the end it was only sensible for him to be
off. This meant we had to get an actor up overnight to
rehearse into a large partfin THE BIRTHDAY PARTY with only one
week to go. Then to rehearse him into Krish's part in TARTUFFE
for the following week. And, since Krish was the mainstay of
MATA HARI - to cancel the final week of that and write up a
show and rehearse it to fit in next. So for a fortnight now
Peter has been rehearsing three shows at once, starting at
9.30 a.m. and ending at around 1 a.m. You can imagine what
that entails and what life is like. We shall need to carry
him away at the end of it all I perhaps we'll give it all up
and join you in Rome in the sun I Stoke is fould at the moment -
all fog and rain one day, bitter winds the next.
I'm trying to think of some good news to offset the gloom.
STAFFORDSHIRE REBELS seemed to be received very well andIam
sure has done us a great deal of good generally. We didn't
know anybody with a tele which could get B.B.C 2 so took the
plunge and got one ourselves. We are now confirmed addicts
and sit watching rubbish far into the Sunday nights, unable
to switch it off or go for a pee until it finally stops of
its own accord and we stagger off to bed.
Love from us all to you both,

4th January 1966
Dear Maurice
I have been a long time answering your letter of November 8th
because I had to take over a production - you may remember we
were planning to do MATA HARI in a new adaptation by one of
Stephen's senior students, whom he was very keen on; I thought
this an exciting idea, and felt that we could get a workmanlike
text out of him and improvise and elaborate on the basis of this
as there were some good ideas. Jonathan chose the production
rather than A CHRISTMAS CAROLS and we went into it with gusto,
but the adaptor, Micahel Stott, re-wrote so fast (he re-wrote
the entire play in six hours) and we couldn't make him work any
more carefully. Communications broke down; the scripts arrived
and were read by a shattered Company already still goose-pimpled
with THE STAFFORDSHIRE REBEIS.
I went away for my first long-weekend for as long as I can
remember and phoned Jonathan from a dark Pennine village. He
was in despair, so when I came back I had to take over the show
and beat it into some sort of shape. It was pretty agonising,
and filled in an intervening period of three weeksmbetween
TARTUFFE and A CHRISTMAS CAROL which I should have spent getting
my breath. The result is that I still feel, at the moment, in
a pretty awful state of health, and very much in arrears with
correspondence and administrative work. However, this is all
excuse.
I went so far as to read your letter to the assembled Company at
coffee-break. They all enjoyed it and were very touched by the
nice things you said. We were, at the time, rehearsing MATA HARI
so your dream of the audience passing through the Theatre and out
the other side was rather an appropriate one. I've had your books
sitting on my desk for about a month, as well, but haven't been
able to get hold of SINS AND WINTER so far I only PERIMETER WEST
and HELIEBORE THE CIOWN, so am looking forward to these.

I can never understand how it is that the German actors and Theatres
are so rich and their productions so poor. Though I'm aware there
is danger in affluence for us, there is a long way we have to go
before the money will corrupt us. There is a possibility that the
Arts Council may be able to increase our Grant substantially, and I
am trying to work out a system by which the actors, when they arrive,
are paid pretty spartan wages, so that I don't attract the wrong sort
and gradually increased according to simply length of service as well
as age. I think this should guard us against some initial dangers,
but I don't think affluence is much in sight yet.
Thank you so much for your kind remarks about ESKIMO TRANCE. It was
a great experience for all of us, and though, in the end, in perform-
ance a little frustrating, it is remembered warmly by us all, the
difficulties forgotten - evaporated
I am currently working with three of the actors - when in fact I
should be administering: they don't happen to be in THE BIRTHDAY
PARTY and I thought this was a good time to get down to this kind
of a project - we are discussing rehearsal preparation, improvisation
experiment, to try and hammer out some lines of development for the
improvement of the quality of our work. This, with Chris. Martin,
Ron Daniel and Terence "Stubi" Davies. While doing so, we have been
looking at the limbering we did for ESKIMO TRANCE, and in fact went
through it exactly as we did before the other evening, and were ready
to start the play again. I never actually recorded it, and I think
that what I must do, before it dies in our minds altogether, is to set
up an actual recording session. I am sure the boys would enjoy it.
The rest are in THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, which Jonathan is directing while
I fob off my nervous breakdown. Otherwise, after the orgies of
Christmas, which have nearly taught me how to rest before flinging me
back into burning the candle at both ends, I am working with Peter
Terson on his next play ALL HONOUR MR. TODD. Peter is moving here
on Monday, 3rd January, to stay for his year, and I hope the begin-
ings of a firm artistic colony are being established in the industrial
wastes. It will be great to have him here - writers are more stable
company than actors. This is not just a bitter or off-hand remark;
I feel tremendously that the growth and development of this company
and project depends upon a stabilising at directorial level = my
level. I think it is a burden I simply cannot sustain on my own,
indefinitely, as it really is exhausting, and the constant erosion
of effort by changes of company and changes of staff at certain
levels wastes away so much constructive work. My hope is, too,
for instance, to involve Peter in helping me to run the Theatre,
and I also quietly pray for the day when you yourself might leave
the green mountains of wherever you are and the noble streets of
ancient Rome and assist as well.

One of the interesting things about Peter's year is going to be
finding out how a writer can be involved in this way, in helping
me to direct our activities.
Fortunately, Jonathan is keen to stay longer, as he has developed
a very deep interest in our schools work and I am keeping him on
to de velop this particularly, as well as to assist me by producing
a number of the year's shows. His wife, whom you may have met,
is joining the Staff, I hope, next year, for the 1966/67 Season,
to start our Children's Theatre work. It is,this sort of development
that ist in fact, the most encouraging, in that it will bring a
measure of stability and maturity to the organisation, and continuity,
which we desparately need. The biggest drag of course is that I have
no good Manager, and simply can't get rid of a lot of my administration
worries and concentrate hard on artistic direction.
This is a hell of a gloomy letter, but I am using your shoulder to
wail ono My gloom is only temporary, I'm sure
You can see I am
concerned that you might be able to come here, as you said; Dennis
Andrews tells me that your bursary is being considered shortly, so I
do hope that this goes well, and it is not long before we see you
and Annette again. Do write and tell me what your plans are, either
way.
I do hope you both had a marvellous Christmas, and will have a happy
New Year.
Yours,

Dear Maurice,
We have sent Barbara Duncan
at Stra tford, Ontario, a copy of
ESKIMO TRANCE.
Let me know as
soon as you hear from Tyrone Guthrie
about the"brilliant director in
Winnipeg." I am writing to Stoke-
on-Trent in the hope that they may
have more copies.
All ours are now
out with Quadflieg and Bochum,
our Dutch agent, a copy in Australia
and the Ontario one.
I am sorry that we did not
send another copy of THE REGULATOR
to the Arts Council as we haye one
only.
I wonder if there is one at
Stoke?
I have no record that one
went there from us but perhaps you
may have given Peter Cheeseman one
direct.
IMPORTANT-Athough every care is taken the company cannot hold itself responsible for the
loss of MSS. by fire or any other cause during the ordinary course of business.


I am going to jog the

Dear Mr. Rowden,
Margery has asked me to thank you
for your letter to her of Jamary 16th.
Regarding the money we have in hand
for you for "ESKIMO TRANCE", as you have a bank
account in London, could we not pay it direct. We
still have to get approval via our bank, but if you
will let us know which bank and branch you have an
account with, we could speak to the Manager. I do
not think we should need to deduct U.K. tax then, as
he would deal with this.
You will have had a letter from us
saying we have not yet been able to send a script of
"ESKIMO TRANCE" to John Hirsch, as all our copies are
out. We only had five from Stoke-on-Trent, and have
written to Mr. Cheeseman to ask if he can let us
have a few more.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Maurice,
Yours of IIth came in this morning, and presumably crossed
with mine of I5th. I'lltry to be as explicit as possible!
Explicitly then, I finished AFTERWARDS at home last night
and although I galloped though it far too fast, I do think it's the most
saleable novel of yours I have read so far, except perhaps for the length,
which could be a stumblingblock. It must be the sexiest book I have ever
read which has virtually no sex (explicitly anyway) in it. I think the
sustained dobablecaleba between Glen and his associates, really does come
off delightfully well. I am going to Eyre and Spottiswoode first of all,
with a good deal of enthusiasm.
Your letter is salted, or peppered, with intriguing references
to my own book, not all of which I think I get. Least of all the 40,000
steps towards Rome, although curiously, that reflects what somebody else
said in a very nasty letter indeed.
I do hope one day, and soon, to prove you not altogether
right about the wickedness of English publishers.
Warmest regards to you both.
Yours,

Dear Ivan:
Maurice Rowdon's AFTERWARDS, I'm sorry to say, is one of the most
exasperating maniscripts I've read this fall. Buried in all those
acutely
there
be the
hundreds and hundreds of undeniably well-written pages
may
for an effective if bitter black comedy, but it's hard to tell
possibilities
besides the
narrative to wade
and
because there's
much else
main
through,
even the most bizarre or entertaining of the episodes in the main narrative
is allowed to run on two or three times too long. And after a while, one
episode begins to seem too much like another: the way everybody invariably
mistakes the narrator's innocence and igiorance and downright dimness as wily
knowingness, and the way Grigg's attitude toward the narrator incessantly
swings back and forth, and the way just one mide-photegraply session isn't
enough for the author so we have to have three or four more of them..
As for the aspects of the book that make 110 pretense at being novelistic,
like a continuation of the three volumes of Rowdon's diary
they seem, really,
and what in the world are they doing in the same
that I have already seen,
those
manuscript as the story of Glen's adventures in London? The man writing
could not possibly be as slow on the uptake, as essentially doltish,
passages
as the man who has the adventures.
By the time I was halfway through I was in a state of fury at Rowdon's
self-indulgence. And yet I kept on reading, and wen I resorted to skipping
I felt
Because as I've said the writing is good
to save my sanity,
guilty.
and there's marvelous stuff and disturbing stuff, along with some fairly
goofy stuff that may or may not De seriously intended, like the obsession
with food and drink and what it does to one. The most drastic cutting--throwing
all of the diary aspects, and reducing each episode at least by half, and
away
might convert this into a workable
tossing out some episodes altogether--just
novel. But in my state of daze and exhaustion, I'm inclined to doubt that it
would be worth the effort, even if Rowdon were willing to make it.
Sorry. Thanks anyway. As you can see, I wasn't bored. But how can a
man who writes so well and so intelligently be so perverse, and so blandly
inconsiderate of the reader he surely wants to address?
The manuscript goes back under separate cover.
Best wishes, as always.
Yours,
DW:el

We have now received from
Peter Cheeseman a cheque for €100. 0. 0.
in respect of the royalties for "ESKIMO
TRANCE" a t the Victoria Theatre, Stoke-
on-Trent.
The reason for it being this
amount, is because they have an Arts
Council guarantee which enables the
royalties to be raised to €100. when
are below this figure.
I enclose the they
box office return, and will make
to the Bank pf England to pay the application
to you less our commission.
I understand money
from David Higham Associates that U.K.
tax has to be deducted, so will send a
statement when the payment is sanctioned.

Dear Maurice and Annette,
many thanks for your two letters.
I was tickled pink by the remarks about the novel. Annette
said I had succeeded in doing exactly what I had set out
to do.
I must give David Bolt a ring, and meet up.
I expect he will be interested to know that the Americans
are irritated with me for not having finished a second
novel a if I can worm out of the Aypleton contract, bigger
publishers want to do it. But you know the snag. If I
shut nyself away to write prose for an advance of only
700 dollars, it gets on my conscience. As it is I've had the
disastrous news that I become redundant from the Railways
on new year's day. The Lord alone knows whether I shall
come across anything which will give khg me the noney I
need in this country nowadays. I finished and submitted
a two-hour television play which I suspect, without conceit,
is too good. Meanwhile I am trying my best to get back into
sound radio where they do not seem to think my long experience
stands so much in my way, as in TV.
It was good news that Annette got good notices
for her show. Could she send me copies of the notices,
because I have spoken to Ewan Phillips who has a gallery in
Maddox Street. He will not do one-mans 'because they never
pay', but he likes to put three or four pieces on display.
He will be interested in German comments because he was in
charge of returning pictures to the gallerfies after the
war in N.Germany (and the bells to the churches). Do you
remember that Epstein bust of a hawkfaced, bobbed lady in
the Tate? That's his mum, and they are both among my oldest
friends. At the moment his gallery is full of dowager
ladies buying antique jewellery, so L'd like to speak to
him about Annette after Amas.
The other day Mum had a nasty fall and it's
a miracle she was hurt only superficially. MV ore miraculous
was that her glasses did not break, but they bruised the
upper part of her face in a most ghastly way. it's very
worry ying at her age but she seems very sprightly considering.
much love of course from prenda and the kids to you both,
Ine

7 December 1965
Dear Maurice,
Thank you for your letter which arrived on my desk this morning.
It cheered me up enormously I in fact it transformed my morning
altogether. These last two weeks have been even more sleepless
than usual, Peter's continual cough has got worse, our new
manager John thinks he's developing tonsilitis, Mrs. Goodall
our book-keeper has an almost permanent migraine, Jonnie cut
himself badly shaving, and I rushed out of the house and shut
my fingers in the door. So the office was shrouded in gloom
till I read your letter. Since then I've been going over
the wages book with John putting in the increased salaries (the
local Council have given us an extra £1,500) so life is
improving rapidly.
We had a letter today from the Arts Council confirming that
you do get &100 and this will be on its way to your agent either
today or tomorrow. We've had a bit of unpleasantness here I'm
afraid. The arrangement is a bit complicated. As you know
we (along of any other theatre I know) pay 9% royalties on all
new plays. Most people pay 72% of less. When the Arts Council
give this guarantee they pay the balance between 72 and E100.
So we couldn't work out what royalty to pay until we had the
confirmation from the Arts Council. But your agent has been
demanding payment and the correspondence has been a little acerb.
I think Peter is going to send you a copy letter. Anyway the
&100 is through which is the important thing and we still love
you, if not your agent.
Kate has now gone into a second stage and collapsed - not
completely - but all the fight has gone out of her. No more
thumping, no more slamming doors and screaming I she comes
home and goes limp and tired.
Its easier to live with but
its very pathetic to see. However it i$ a development. She
now knows what she hates. It isn't the world in general
including the two of us = it's quite simply school. We're
working up quite a hatred of school too - having a child going
there bringsit all back, petty authority and what have you.


Sorry you're not on the playbill list - can't understand this.
However, here is a present one. MATA HARI was a mistake.
Alan Ayckbourn had promised us a play for the slot before
Christmas which is always a difficult one to fill and then let
us down at the last minute. MATA HARI had been done by our
sister company at Scarborough and seemed a good basic idea
though the play was weak. Peter thought we could get 8 good
rewrite on it, but the author proved so incompetent and lazy
that the rewrite was still hopeless. This was Jonnie's
production wadet while Peter caught up on administration, but
after a week and a half he had to admit complete failure - just
couldn't get hold of it, so Peter had to take over the production
and do it in half the time, working all hours to get through it.
This after a wearing production of TARTUFFE and before another
wearing production of the Christmas EEBONEXIBN playfor kids.
MATA HARI still isn't good, but at least it's amusing for the
audience, full of revue stuff, with Krishna doing marvellous
things.
What I mean al bout MECH SAW and WHATNOT is not that they are
at all alike in what matters. They couldn't be more different,
But that if you wrote out a bare synopsis of the plot, and a
character list and the setting, they have remarkable similarities.
Superficialities only. I don't know whether it matters.
I read MR. CALMERS ELECTRICAL WORKS a week or so ago and must
write to you about it in great detail when I can get some
quiet. I want to send off this letter now with the news about
The £100.
Typing is awaful - fingers still sore.
Many thanks to Annettef for her note - much love to you both.

19 November 1965
Dear Maurice,
Thank you for yojr two letters and for sending the musical play.
I haven't had time to read this yet as I've been submerged in
helping to rewrite Mata Hari and select the next Terson for
production (he's written about eight. since we last did one).
THE MECHANICA L SAW I enjoyed immensely. I am amazed at how
wide your range is. I think myself that the next play of
yours we do should be a lighthearted one like this. My worry
with this one is that it has so many superficial points of
resemblance with WHATNOT. Obviously it is a much better play
than WHATNOT, which wasn't a play so much as a production.
Your characters have so much more depth and the whole satiric
undertow is much stronger, etc., ete., etc. and etc.
However... you have a copy of WHATNOT. Do you see what I mean?
But Peter hasn't read it yetand always sees such things clearer
than I do. I don't suppose he'll be able to read it for a
while either as this MATA HARI emergency has completely overloaded
him and even desperately urgent things are being left. So I
will send the copy I have to Dennis Andrews now. Peter is
unlikely to emerge now until the end of December and perhaps
in view of WHATNOT should read any other plays first. The
office is full of stage management all fighting over the
telephone so that I feel unable to concentrate and I'm sure
this letter is very muddled. However THE MECHANICAL SAW is
bul irint thr
on its way to the Arts Council, so much is clear at least.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed for you - the present
one with nd Staye- mood at the Arts Council seems favourable.

How is Annette? I'm so glad the German exhibition was so
successful. What is happening about the Robert John? Are
you going to be over again soon? I feel I neglected Annette
when you were over, but the coincidence of Kate starting school
and Peter's mother being so ill was more than I could cope with.
We really must get together properly some time. Kate is still
hating school and being hellish when she gets home - really
aggressive and destructive. As we walk along a street she
will calmly thump passers-by. I am leatning to wear 8 permanent


innocèntly vague expression.
You warned me her character
might change.
The next night: I am now home and have re-read your letter
about MR. CALMER'S ELECTRICAL WORKS which sounds tremendously
exciting. A musical set in the Potteries would be terrific.
The more I think a bout it the more excited I get - so I must
read the script soon, especially as its all precognitive too.
Peter Brooke is up this weekend incidentally. He has been
giving a series of lectures at Keele and is extending this
particular weekend to visit the theatre.

Dear Maurice:
THE BOAT RACE - John William Rowdon
I think this is tremendously ingenious, and I enjoyed
it, but quite honestly I think the chances of interesting a
publisher here in a novel published in America in 1961 are very
slim indeed (I've been trying to do just that with a much more
recent and frankly, I think, more saleable book for this country,
without success). Shall I sent it back to you?
I'm sure your brother's best bet would be to offer the
manuscript of his next novel in England (at the same time as America
perhaps), and this, of course, I'd be very happy to see. Having
once got a publisher, one might be able to interest them in this
earlier book.
Yours,
banid

Dear Mr Tabet,
This morning I went to the Palazzo di Giustizia in
Piazza Cavour to appear as instructed before Dr. Tondo
as a witness in the case Johnson-Macellari. But I am
afraid I was unable to find the room tntil it was much
too late, nearly eleven o'clock. Everyone I asked told
me a different story, as to how to reach this room,
and I think I covered every floor, et very corridor, every
courtroom, civil and otherwise. The porter kn the main
hall downstairs, after looking at the Atto di Citazione di
Tes timone, told me to go to the
floor, and Dr Tondo's
room is not on the top floor. torerio that I spent nearly
twenty minutes trying to find a place for
car, and
finally had to choose between risking a riné for breach
of traffic regulations or one for not appearing in court.
I hope that you enjoy good health, and that I can be of
service to you at a later date.
Yours sincerely,
Maurice Rowdon.

Dear Maurice,
Sorry if you've been feeling neglected.
I am sorry also that t there was a delay in
replying to your card of the 21st October, but
we were trying to disentangle the Questois
Ealing MECHANICAL SAW problem.
I honestly do not know what to say on this
question of representation. The important point
we have to consider is, is there somebody who
would be likely to represent you better than I
would ? I honestly do not know. I am fascina ated
by your work, have always told you that I am
perplexed by it, have never pretended for one
second that I think it is easy to promote, but
would be most happy to do anything I can. Wha t
more can I say ? The ball is now in your court!

A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. In Four Acts. HARRY BEINUM is personnel
consultant in a factory and deala with the perso onal
lives---and the intimate secrets---of the entire
works. He wants to clean up people's lives, on
behalf of produc tion: part of this cleaning process
is his living with his secretary and refusing to
marry her, and aborting her child for their 'freedom'.
The story of the play 1s how he is enmeshed---not
at all deliberately or Oansoiously---by, a young
engineer and his very lovely wife: it brings about
his downfall. We find that his own passions were
the mess he saw all round him, and what he was trying
to clean up in other people. 2 M and 2 F. One set.
ELAANE.
In Three Aets. The play centres on 45 year old
ELAINE who is a sort of lower middle class prima-
donna, but with something really ra ther glorious
about her. She and her nephew aged 21 have an
affair and almost shake the family to pieces, as
it deserves to be shaken. 3M and 4 F. Oné set.
MAN CALLED APOLLO. In Four Acts. I've described this as a
"musical play'. The lyrics are to be written (there
is one lyric at the end of Act 1 which can be taken
as a model for the others). The plot concerns
a factory hand who thinks---in fact, remembers
that he used to be Etruscan. He even believes he
is a God---the Apollo of Veii. Everyone thinks
he's dotty and wants to protect him, and in this
way they fall under his influence. He really does
seem to change their lives---even the weather. He
pops into bed with all the wives, and in this way
rejuvenates the husbands: until the manager*s wife
gets hold of him, and iror sets in. 6 M and 1F.
One set.
PAM:
In Three Acts. About German-born Charlotte Manhe im
and her daughter PAM whose father remains unknown
for a great part of the play. These two became
American during the war o PAM is an. incurable liar,
and the play describes these lies as they are
played out to the exhaustion of mother and possible
future son-in-law. Mother and daughter end al one
with each other as they began. 1 M and 2 F. One
set.

Thanks so much for your letter of November 10th.
I have written to Colin George asking him if he has come
to a conclusion about THE MECHANICAL SAW. I think we
had better leave the Peter Cheeseman one just where it
is at the moment.
I don't think I have ever read ELAINE. If I
did then I must admit I have forgotten it. Ought I to
see it again? and please send me A PLAN CF CAMPAIGN when
you have had it re-typed.
I don't want to be typically womanish and have
the last word but, going to the last paragraph of your
letter with the crack about the Wyndham's box office,
surely I have not been waving John Osborne's name at you?
It would seem to me desperately rude and silly of me if
I have. I am going to win this argument with a really
depressing bit of trumpet blowing.

My dear Maurice,
I am in Tangier. where I have been renting houses,
i. e. two, one after the other, not twoat once! while
writing vol.2. of my trilogy, The Secuence of Roles. I
long to know what you think of vol.1. The Round Mosaic,
which came out in July with Chapman and Hall, I am sure
it is my best novel; so sure thatI even want to send a
copy to Annette's father! Would that be feasible? Yes,
I did go to Russia and two articles about my visit have
been published recently by the Spectator, which makes it
needless to repeat them here - you are right about needing
300 pages not 30 lines. (Issues of 27th August and 3rd
September, if they are still around somewhere.) But I re-
acted very much to Moscow - I was only there two weeks.
In one way I longed to get out (ns turally) and in another
I felt they were by the far the nicest Europeans - and
very European Europeans at that - that I had ever met.
You should both go there and see what I mean. It is a
society to which the on ly good guides were written in the
19th century: the novelists.
Your advice: for the novel, among other things; but
that was in May! Istill vant it but for things I really
need to discuss.
My plans - since this is a telegram, not a letter:
to be here till nearly the end of the month. (Sayid and
I are going with a Tangier figure, Sir Terepce Creagh-Coen,
on a trip to the Riff this weekend. He was Catullus
am told in a: novel by your friend Aubrey Menon.) Then shall
drive up through Spain and France to spend the night of
the 29 th Sept. at the Rowdon-recommended folly, Chateau
de Montreuil; will be in Norfolk on the 30th, evening: and
shall spend October inEngland, perhaps half November, before
going to Lebanon to write the bread-and-butter biography
of Bustani - one of the things I wanted to 'confer' about.
How is your book on Umbria? Others in the series have
had those reviews which seem almost too good to be true!
May the 'trend' persist :

Dear Maurice:
I had your cable last thing last night, and wasn't
able to see Margery until this morning. But in a nutshell,
she tells me that she has herself had a cable from you and
is replying in detail. I don't think there's much I can add,
except that I do know personally that Margery has been the
opposite to reluctant to deal with your work, as I should have
thought you would have gathered by now, Maurice. I'm told that
your letter to Margery wasn't one that could be answered off the
cuff, which explains the delay - but obviously Margery will be
able to tell you more about this than I can.
If I can help don't hesitate to let me know. But as I
say, all I can confirm from personal knowledge at this stage, is
that you've got the wrong end of the stick, old chap.
Yours,

Dear Maurice,
We never discussed the ideas you had for cuts before you left. I
feel, on page 38, we should get as fast as we can from the flight of
the bird, at the top, to the Peace River plan topic on page 39. At
each stage it means cutting somethirg quite specifick but I don't
know how you feel. Secondly, another possiblity, from "Dog stares
before him" down to "Dog - 'Haines' (He begins to nod sitting)" This
could come out altogether.
It is a matter, however, of planning both these cuts so that we
don't under-mention Gillis's Grave. Let me know your thoughts.
Safe journies.

Thank you for your letter of the 2nd October. I have noted your
extraordinary address.
J oyce says that when you say the people who leave Stoke feel they

feel that way. I agree.

PETER.
ESKIMO TRANCE is going quite well this week, I mean artistically.
It has not done good business but you and I know why and that is
all that matters, I came to the conclusion to-night that the
play would be best if we performed it over 14 or 24 hours with
long pauses while Stubb took his shoes off and picked between his
toes, and so on. Occasionally everybody would go to sleep for
about 8 hours. As it is, the boys are soldiering on and the show
remains pretty enthralling, the new cuts working very well. I do
hope that there is a chance that radio will do it as I think it
should work very well there.
Joyce has read the comedy and found it very amusing indeed. I
am looking forward to it. All now hinges on the Arts Council and
I do hope this goes well for you. us)
I am about to launch into a production of TARTUFFE and have been
rushing up and down between Conferences in Glasgow and Stratford,

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
I understand you are in touch direct
with Peter Cheeseman. As far as we are concerned
he has suddenly surfaced, returned the agreement
for "ESKIMO TRANCE" signed, but asked for certain
alterations, so really the only thing to do is to
re-type it and get it resigned.
The first alteration, very much in your
favour, is that he has decided that the percentage
you contract to pay him on exploitation of the play,
in clauses 8 and 9, was too high at 10% and should
be 5%. Ten per cent is, in fact, entirely normal
and one would never dream of querying it, but if he
suddenly decides he only wants five per cent, who
are we to argue.
The second one is the addition of clause
15. I explained that it was impossible to bind you
to see that the Victoria Theatre is always given
credit for the first performance, because such things
get beyond your control. But "all reasonable efforts"
IMPORTANT-Alhough loss of MSS. by fire every or any care other is taken cause the during company the ordinary cannot hold course itself of responsible business. for the


does, I think, cover the situation. As a matter of fact
we always do try and see that acknowledgement is paid
to the original try-out theatre company, so this clause
means little more than we would do normally.
Anyway, if you approve, could you sign this one
and return it; I have sent a copy to Mr.Cheeseman for
signature and again implored him to settle the date once
and for all.
By the way, this firm has recently been joined
by Mrs. Pam Hunt, who has had years of experience in the
film and entertainment world; I personally am going to
retire shortly. I must say, I'm very glad to have been
able to see something arranged for "ESKIMO TRANCE" before
I do so.
sincerely,
Yours bidti

WAITING FOR MELLI which I have given on reading to a rather

Dear Maurice,
I enclose a copy of ESKIMO TRANCE incorporating your latest
emendations. We have had twenty of these made. I am sending
five to Margery Vosper, two to the Arts Council for submission
for their guarantee against loss, as well as one to the Lord
Chamberlain and our own requirements, leaving a certain number
here for enquiries we may get. You remember I thought
Michael Codron might well be interested in the play.
I am hoping you will be eligible for the Foyle award and am
eng uiring about this and will submit the play as soon as it
is produced to the Foyle Trust. I think we've got a good cast
for it, even though I am afraid we have lost Bernard Gallagherr.
Do let us know if you get desperate about living accommodation.
We can always fix you up with digs in Stoke! Looking forward
to seeing you again.
I've just got on THE STAFFORDSHIRE REBELS - the son of JOLLY
POTTERS as it were - our documentary about the Civil War.
I'd like you to see it if you are able to come up early enough.
The final week ends on the 21st August and I know it would
interest you enormously.
Yours,
ps. The script will be sent under separate cover.
pps. My most since re apologies for the fact that your name
has been spelt wrongly on the publicity leaflet.

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
After much searching I have found someone who
is willing to take on the typing of your book, or at least,
as much as possible until I return home. The difficulty
is that so many people are on holiday or are booked up at
this time doing theses for the University.
However, the person I have found is the head of
the Typist Training College in Birmingham and she has given
the work to someone whose work she assures me is of the
highest standard and she will herself supervise it. I have
given her all the instructions and told her that you will
send the next instalments direct to her and that you will
get in touch with her about the 23rd August.
I hope you received my wire giving you her name
and address, but I will give it to you again. She prefers
to be contacted at her home address and for the work to be
sent there: Miss Fisher, 8 Salisbury Road, Moseley,
Birmingham, 13. Telephone: SOUth 2079 after 9.0 p.m. During
the day she is at the Typist Training College, Navigation St.
I do not know what her charges will be - she says I charge
too little! but I know whatever she does charge will be
reasonable.
I am so sorry you have had all this worry but I
think you can now relax. I shall get in touch with Miss
Fisher when I return from holiday.
Yours sincerely,
Oaeen

Dear Mr. Rowdon,
I am sorry that I was unable to catch you before
you left Stoke on Trent, but I am now writing to tell
you that the Drama Panel has agreed to consider you as
a candidate under our playwright bursary scheme. For
the record, couldyou please let me have a note of the
following information, some of which I know you have
told me.
Scripts of any plays you have written; two copies
of each if possible although this is not essential
and one copy will do.
A brief autobiography, including you age.
A note of your financial circumstances to show
the need for help.
A list of all your completed writing showing
whether or not the plays have been produced or
other work published.
As we have an unusaally large number of candidates
just at present I cannot promise a decision within any
specific time. We will just have to do our best, but
the last thing we will do of course is to skimp considera-
tion of anyone's work, so don't get too depressed if
you don't have any news for a few months.

Just a brief note to pass along a very

Dear Ivan:
Welcome back. This is said a little late in the day because I was
on vacation myself the week of your return. Before I left, I had read
with considerable pleasure and admiration Maurice Rowdon's ITALIAN SKETCHES,
and since my return I have read A ROMAN STREET and LETTER FROM SIENA with
almost as much of the same. So it would be nice to say that I think the
idea of a combined volume for U. S. publication would be a sound one. Alas,
I can't imagine there would be a sale large enough to justify the time and
work Rowdon would put into the cutting and combining, though this would be
easy enough to do, or to repay the publisher's invest tment.
Our records show that Gertrude Buckman declined ITALIAN SKETCHES in
1962, and presumably it was for the same reason. Actually it seems to me
the best of the three volumes, and the S econd the second best. By volume 3
I was beginning to tire of the scrappiness and to feel that instead of
giving us a series of excerpts from his journals (which I assume is what
he's doing) he should have crystallized his material, shaped and formed it
into a rather more composed or connected sort of book. But even such a
book would have been hard to sell in this country, I fear--though there
have been distinguished examples of the genre to which, in a way, Rowdon's
books seem to belong. I thought on the one hand of Robert Payne's early
book and probably his best, FOREVER CHINA, and on the other of ROME AND A
VILLA, and there's D. H. Lawrence, and another reader here mentions Henry
Miller, and so it goes.
Surely Rowdon must have written, or be writing, other kinds of books:
one gathers from these three that he's had interesting experiences in assor-
ted interesting places. The brightest hope for a volume combining the best
sections from these three would be after he'd established a reputation and
acquired a public with what I've called composed books, or so it seems to me.
I'm sending the three back under separate cover, with regrets that my
enthusiasm for them wasn't quite strong enough to make me feel we should

publish Rowdon, at an almost certain loss. Thanks for having let me see
them: the pleasure and the admiration were genuine.

Dear Maurice,
I confirm that the run now extends to March 4 and that an
option for a further four weeks, i.e. to end on April 1
is possible providing you take up the option by Monday
19th February.
Because of the notice I must give to the ticket printers and
also to allow you some advance booking facility I will have
to order the tickets for the extended run by the 5th February.
In the event of the option not being taken up I will have
to charge you with the cost of having those tickets printed
(approximately £45) unless I hear by February 5 that you
have no intention of taking up that option.
Because of the advent of VAT and that the contract will have
to be re-drafted an option to extend further will be subject
to a new contract, although I have pencilled in a further
4 weeks should you want to use them.
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Rowdon
This letter of agreement is to confirm that from the above date we shall
exclusively represent your writing in all media on the following terms:
SCOPE OF AGENCY
1.1 We shall advise on and handle the negotiation of contracts for
commissioning the production of your work and for the licensing and/or
other forms of exploitation of such work in the fields of publishing,
theatre, motion pictures, television, radio, music publishing and
recording, and all new media and all derivative fields of activity. Our
agency will also encompass merchandising and commercial tie-in
rights and advertising.
1.2 Our responsibilities will include trying to manage your career including
finding work for you but you will accept that success cannot be
guaranteed. This effort will be undertaken in consultation with you SO
that you are aware in general terms of our activities on your behalf.
Commissions may find their way to you directly and, in those cases,
after first contact has been made, you will refer the party in question to
us to negotiate an appropriate agreement on your behalf.
1.3 During the term of our appointment as your agents, we shall have the
exclusive right to negotiate the matters referred to in the preceding
paragraphs. This means that you should refrain from negotiating these
yourself or to engage anyone else to do SO for you.
1.4 We anticipate liaising with you as regards the creation and exploitation
of your work. or my colleague(s) at the agency will be available to
discuss these matters with you and to give you the benefit of our
ongoing advice and support.
1.5 Other than in regard to minor transactions, where we have your general
approval to act in what we perceive to be your best interests, we shall

MICHELINE STEINBERG PLAYWRIGHTS
not commit you to a transaction that you have not approved in
advance.
1.6 We will obviously expect you to work with us in a productive and
positive manner SO as to optimise the chances of successful
negotiation, and we shall report to you fully on concluding contracts.
1.7 Where we consider it applicable, perhaps due to the complexity of a
proposed contract, we may advise you as to the need to take
professional advice, such as from a solicitor, and we shall be happy to
advise as to the choice of such a professional adviser. However, the
appointment of any such professional adviser will be on the basis that
you are his/her client and not us and that you undertake to require
him/her to issue you with an appointing letter confirming this fact, a
copy of which is to be sent to us to be placed on our files.
COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
2.1 We shall be entitled to a commission (plus VAT when applicable) on all
your earnings which arise from the exploitation of your creative work.
Our rates of commission are as follows:
Great Britain : 10%
Overseas
In addition to the above, we shall bill you monthly for copies of scripts
made: we shall include receipts as this is a legitimate expense which
you should be able to reclaim.
2.2 We undertake to forward payments due to you within no more than 14
working days after receipt by us together with relevant paperwork.
NON DRAMATIC MATERIAL
As far as fiction and prose are concerned, we work in conjunction with
a number of literary agents. Should they feel enthusiastic about any
such piece of work written by you, they would then represent this work
on your behalf in association with us.
OTHER TERMS
It is understood that we shall initially represent your work for a nine-
month trial period, at the end of which time it should be clear to all
concerned whether or not this professional relationship is going to be
successful. Should either we or you wish to terminate this agreement
at that point, then this will be done without any hard feelings on either
side. However, any contracts that have been initiated or handled by us

during this period will continue to be serviced by this office with
appropriate deductions of commission. Equally, any play on which a
considerable amount of effort and/or input has already been made will
again continue to be handled by us with appropriate deductions of
commission on any contracts.
If at any time after this nine-month period either you or we feel that it
would be better to terminate this agreement, then similar terms will
apply. We do hope that this is both clear and acceptable to you - it
does seem best to set down a few basics for our working together.
In order to signify your agreement to these conditions, we would be grateful if
you would sign and return to us the enclosed
of this letter of

agreement.
We very much look forward to working with you.

Dear David,
I was extremely impressed with ONE by Maurice Rowdon
until I reached the end when I felt that the author just
copped out. In any event, I think it is a terribly
difficult novel for a publisher to sell. As you say, it is
unusual and falls somewhere between the disaster novel and
the short horror story. For that reason I am reluctantly
going to turn the book down. I do hope you will find
somebody, braver than us, to take it on because it is
undeniably powerful stuff. I have inefficiently left the
manuscript at home where I was reading it last night but
I will send it on to you under separate cover.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Aotusts

August 1979
Dear Maurice,
Just a brief note to say that I shall be leaving this address soon,
and as from 15 August my new one will be:
96 Chestnut Lane, Amersham, Backinghamshire
Tel: Amersham 21774
However, there is quite a lot to be done at the house, so we are
turning it over to the builders and going on holiday, and will be
back on 3 September.
I hope that you have come to some happy solution about agents. Needless
to say David has still not managed to produce a contract for me to sign
since you called me, and the terms had all been drawn up; it was simply
a question of sending a contract form to the editor, having it signed,
and then getting me to sign it. Still, there is no point in raving
except that the debts mount up.
I am hoping to come to Italy next year for a holiday - as opp osed to
work. Probably late May and early June. I want to show a friend Ravenna,
Florence, Siena (hopefully Urbino, Volterra, S. Gimignano and similar
places as well en routeg of course) and then on down to Rome and Naples,
but at present it is merely a project. Who knows what the petrol and/or
work situation will be by then.
Yours ever,
ana
Alan Kendall

Dear Maurice,
As agreed on the telephone I am passing the letter and invoice from
Paris-Match, concerning reproduction fees for the photographs in the
book, Gver to you. I am telling Paris-Match that I have done this.
This is, of course, quite separate from the use of photographs in
serialisations, although that will also fall to you and/or Paris-Match.
In the meantime I am telling News Limited of Australia to go ahead
with four pictures for their serial on the strength of Stephanie's
telephone acceptance of their quote of 100 francs for the lot. I
gather from her that a Paris-Match invoice is on its way for that
as well, and I am passing that over to News Limited of Australia as
soon as it comes.
Yours ever,

Dear Maurice Rowdon,
Having nearly finished your delightful book
"Talking Dogs", I am about to review it for this paper.I
write a weekly column for the Herald about pets and animals,
and visit many unusual places to get stories.
My husband and I are travelling to Europe this year
and I would like to visit Fraulein Meyer and her two wonderful
pupils with the hope of writing about them. We will be with
friends in Munich in June, and I believe that this is only
a hour's drive from Berchtesgaden.
I am writing to you to ask you if you will send me
Fraulein Meyer's address and telephone number. If I wrote to
her or phoned her, she may give me a date when a visit may
be possible.
Of course my other, and most important question is,
does she speak English, as I have no German...! I ask this
because if she did grant me an interview, I may need to take
along a friend from Munich to interpret for us.
I realise you must be very busy, but if you can help
me with this project I would be most grateful.
Thank you for one of the most fascinating "animal"
books I have had the joy to read.
sincerely
lacentlasd.
Marcia H. Clarke.
P.S. I enclose a stamped and addressed envelope to save you
time. mhc.

Dear Maurice:
How good to hear from you. I am sorry that I have been so làng in
corresponding. First, I lost your publisher's address in London, and
lately I have been incredibly busy writing my first book dealing with
Aging and Health IX Maintenance. So much has happendd since
letter to you of August 1 (enclosed). Most notably, our beautiful my
Siamese cats contracted infectious anemia and have been slowlydying
despei te my efforts to keep them alive. This has been
on for
month now with progressive decline in their health and going has been
difficult to accept for us. This is however, our sole problem of
any significance. Jena and Michael are well, and send you their
I finished 3 of the four papers I was working on and then landed greetings. somei
government monies to develop and conduct workshops for area directors
ofxagnt agencies tha t serve the aged client in central PA. Since
their is no cogent resource emphasizing wellgeing and personal
responsibility for one's health vàa nutfition, exercise, and emotional
relaxation, I decided to write a training manual.. I then plan to
de-emphasize the aging aspect and rewrite the exercises and info. for
a national publiscation emphasizing wellbeing as one of our
senses
innate
which needs to be used if it is to be developed. Ive fineished
a complete outline and the first chapter and have a Jan. 79 deadline
for the workshop text ( which has good possilities of being adopted
throughout the state). Naturally I'm tremendously excited about this
project, and only something of this magnitude and immediacy could
have made me postpone my full attention towards securing monies for
training the dogs. (we've 9 new puppies!) I have, however, begin
the process by working on a transcrippion of the notes you sent me,
and am beginning to compile the rdevant literature. Yes i am aware
of Premack seminal work in this area and should pay him a vist late
this Spring or Summer which will I trust find me finishing this
proposal for an initial review. The process is necessarily a slow
one, but I am committed to it. My classes are going exceptionally
well and I find many newan interesting challenges
to see
daily.

I do,when I think of my good fortune in knowing you so rejonce,as
so deeply. You are often in my thoughts, but somehow more briefly importartly yet
knowing you has given me a subtle reassurance of purpose which to
me is all too vague. So thanks for being, Continue in peace my
friend. Write soon. Better yet, visit.

Dear Maurice,
I have recently received the photocopies of Dorothy Myyer's lessons
and have read over them with great interest. The initial lessons
are quite sketchy, and I wish I had some indication of the length
of time needed for the dogs to learn yes/ no or to count with one
paw, etc. I will endeavor to establish these periods myself if
the information is not otherwise available. Thank you for your
very insightful words which I found to be full of love and encouragemant,
Jean and Michael are well and also send théir greetings to you. We
have a new puppy and a myriad of new cats and kittens, including
three 4-5 yr. old Siamese we saved from the jaws of death. They are
so incredibly intelligent and will I believe play a maj jor role in
my developmentover the coming years. I have spent much time thinking
of my first Siamese and how her astral powers helped me so. These
cats ( Cleopatra, Tadlinka, and Sheba) are all very receptive to
my thoughts and I.have learned that they actually see my visualizations
(when I hold themkwfthfiked concentration) appearing 2-3 feet
above and slightly behind my head. They do this with graat joy and
become quite transfixed in the process. They also "read" my though ts
from other rooms in a more telepathic senee
My minimal

stopped drinking alcohol and' have
begun to develop a program of mental training involving relaxation
and leaving go or giving up my loical-rational,
to experience.
These moments are insightful. As you can
many activities are
still increasing. I have been
1oEnO
to Wahinington to testify in favor of
a Nutrition Education Bill and am acting as consultant to the American
Freedom from Hunger Foundation. I have applied for licensure in PA
for private practice and with some luck may be able to offer some
wholistic therapy services to the public by next January, if that
is to be they way for me. Certainly, I do not know the plan for my
life, even for today, but continue to do my best with what tever I
meet. I have just received notice of the acceptance of a scientific
paper of mine into the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. This
is the second article that I wrote earlier this summer to be
published, the other in REX Child Development. Both deal with the
effects of crowding on physiological, social, behavioral, and
phenomenological apsects of children and adults. I have also just
completed a paper concerning the development of memory and implications
of my research for new models of memory structure. Finally, I am
amidst yet another paper which tests the adequacy of the traditional
and a more embrionic theory of memory functioning, which I hope to
finish by the end of August. I have been trying to clean up my
academic backlog in order to keep in good standing professinnally.
I feel that it is important for me to establish a good scientific
reputation at this early (I hope and trust) stage of my career in order
to lend gravity to my forthcoming proposals (e.g. the dogs).

Speaking of which, I hope to start my research for a federal
grant in animal communications in October and complete the proposal
by Spring. Although I have been more productive than ever this
summer, I still have yet to complete my currerut manuscript and
write a pamphlet on the ABCS of Infant and childhood Nutrition
in Today's America. I will publish this myself in hopes of beginning
a press for nutritional education that can disseminate info. via
the popular women's magazines. I am greatly dismaged ax
the
effect of our women's rights movement which has made the role by of
housewife seem menial. In fact, i think that the one who brings
in and prepares the food is responsible for nothing less than our
health.(Our garden is/has been yielding our staplesin abundance
this year). I am departing at weeks end on a weeklong canoe trip
through the mountains of West Virginia as classes begin in early
Sept. and I will need some time to expand my mind beforethe daily
output of four courses begins, although without the draining
I don't think that the new thoughts would find a receptive abode. output
Indeed, there is much work for us to do. Continue in peace,
my friend. We await you safe return and joyous good company.

P.S. I hope Annette has at last come to the root of her problem
and is well. Our love to you both.

Dear Sirs,
Rowdon and Rowdon
Further to our telephone conversation with Mr. Field
yesterday, we are now able to confirm that the debt on the
Italian house is 120,000 Swiss francs and not the figure
of 77,000 Swiss francs being the amount of the original
loan. The difference is, of course, explained by accrued
interest up to the time when the amount of the indebtedness
was finally fixed at 120,000 Swiss francs.
As this appears to be a point which is exercising
Mrs. Rowdon, we enclose a copy of a letter which we have
received from Messrs. D. J. Freeman dated 15th June, and a
copy of our reply of today's date.
Please let us know whether we are now in sight of a
settlement so far as your client is concerned, consisting
of the following elements:-
1. Payment to him of £15,000 in full satisfaction
of all his claims with the exception of the
Italian house.
2. An acknowledgement by him that the Italian
house is charged to the Family Foundation
in the sum of 120,000 Swiss francs.
3. An acknowledgement that he will vacate
Tamworth Street on demand without the
necessity of our proceeding with the liti-
gation.

15th June, 1979.
Dear Sirs,
re: Rowdon and Rowdon
We refer to our letter of the 5th June. Mrs. Rowdon called
on us yesterday, at which meeting we had the advantage of perusing
the copy Petition presented by you on her behalf the 23rd March, the
copy having been supplied by the Respondent's Solicitors.
We are told by the Respondent's Solicitors that they have put
it to you that if the Family Trust was to pay to the Respondent £15,000
he would vacate the premises 5 Tamworth Street, and relinquish any claim
he might have to those premises. Furthermore, he would consent to a
Decree. If you will tell us if the Trust is prepared to make that pay-
ment and when doing so, tell us what if any, entitlement the Trust main-
tains our client may have to those premises we shall be obliged. We ask
the question having regard to the Trust's attitude towards the Respondent,
reflected in your letter to him and his Solicitors of the 1st May, where-
in you say on advice that he is no more than a licensee. It may be that
notwithstanding the property is relatively small, our client may decide
to have the premises converted to allow her to let part of the premises.
Italian Property - Our client recalls that the Family Trust
made an advance of approximately f6,000 for the purchase of a property in
Italy. She is not sure what sum the Trust will expect to be repaid if
the Italian property was sold, but believes that the Trust would not ex-
pect to receive a sum in excess of £19,000. Please clarify.
Yours faithfully,
sp.orumnsfo.

OUR REFERENCE
26th June 1979.
Messrs. D. J. Freeman & Co.r
9 Cavendish Square,
London WIM 9DD.
Dear Sirs,
Rowdon and Rowdon
Thank you for your letter of 15th June.
We think probably the best way to answer ycur letter
is to enclose a copy of a letter of today's date which we
have written to Messrs. Denton Hall & Burgin acting for
the husband in this case.
So far as your client's interest in 5 Tamworth Street
is concerned, we think the position is strictly that she
also is only a licensee of the Family Foundation which is
the legal owner. She is, of course, well aware of her
interest in the Family Foundation as a discretionary type
beneficiary. We can arrange to let you have copies of
such documents as were originally provided by your client
to us if you would like us to do so. Some of them have
been translated.
We would need to take instructions on the suggestion
that your client might want to do a conversion of Tamworth
Street. Obviously this is something which could only be
done if the owners agreed.
So far as the Italian property is concerned, we do not
think it is true to say that the Family Trust would not
expect to receive a sum in excess of £19,000 on any sale.
This would appear to be the sterling equivalent at current
rates of 77,000 Swiss francs, whereas our instructions are
clear that the debt to the Family Foundation has now been
crystallised in the sum of 120,000 Swiss francs.
Yours faithfully,
Enc.

Dear Property Owner,
55/58 Pall Mall
Welcome to the world of Owner's Travel Services (OTS) which is a subsidiary
of AXAIR Limited.
Owner's Travel Services operate one of the most comprehensive flight
programmes for owners of overseas properties and it is in this connection
that we would like to offer you a special Introductory Membership Fee to
the "OTS Travel Club".
Yes, for only 50% of the normal annual fee (£10) we are offering you the
chance to join many thousands of other overseas owners who use the flight
facilities of OTS/Axair.
OTS Travel Club has just recently acquired the mailing lists of several
other smaller travel clubs who are no longer to continue in this field,
So that their clients may continue to be serviced they have handed over
your name and address to us.
Amongst some of these clubs are MTC, Flight Plan, OVAL, Overseas Travel
Discount Bureau and others.
We are sure that our service will meet your requirements and are certain
that it will certainly surpass that of the previous Travel Clubs with
whom you have been dealing.
We publish a regular newsletter and up to date flight programmes and this
is circulated to all Members.
All members should however never hesitate to contact us directly for the
many special offers we have on flights from time to time; all too often
some other tour operators find themselves with "odd" capacity which they
cannot sell in the ordinary holiday package market, but which often suits
our Independent Travellers. Invariably in an attempt to rid themselves
of this unwanted capacity, they will sell off these seats at lower prices.
Through our brokerage facilities we are able to obtain these seats and
pass on the benefits to our Members; so remember to contact us. every time
and ask us if we have any of these lower priced seats.
OTS OWNER'S TRAVEL SERVICES is a registered business name of Axair Limited
A company registered in the United Kingdom NB 1372288

LETTING DIRECTORY
OTS/Axair publish an annual overseas property directory which includes
photographs and/or written descriptions of individual members' properties.
We are currently preparing publication of the 1979 issue and would like to
afford all new members the opportunity of using this facility. This
directory is used both by members wishing to let their own property and
by ourselves in conjunction with our general advertising and promotion.
The cost of annual inclusion in our property directory is £25 per property
and is for a display area of approximately 4" X 4" which includes provision
for a black and white exterior photograph of your property together with
a 25-30 word description. Any lettings effected by us are subject to a
commission of 121%. Naturally any members sharing a similar property in
the same location, where the descriptions would be the same, i.e. say
three members having identical apartments in the same block, a special rate
for one insertion could be arranged.
If you wish to participate in our letting directory please fill in the
relevant application form which accompanies this letter and return with
a "half-tone" black and white exterior photograph together with your
remittance for £25.
COMPREHENSIVE HOLIDAY INSURANCE
OTS/Axair has arranged a comprehensive inclusive travel insurance for use
by all members travelling abroad, this has been arranged with J Perry & Co
(Holiday Insurances) Limited and is underwritten by Lloyds of London.
In addition to being probably the best holiday insurance package available
the most important aspect of our insurance is thaty unlike other similar
packages, our system enables you to receive funds or have medical bills
etc paid out locally. All too often many travellers have found that even
though they have been covered by holiday insurance, that they have had to
pay quite large medical bills or repatriation fees before returning to the
UK and claiming from their insurance company. This of course can be quite
embarrassing or even impossible to undertake from the normal holiday budget
and only adds more stress to a situation which may already be difficult
enough. All our insured clients carry a special telephone number which can
be contacted 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year.
"STRIKES COVER"
Remember the French Air Traffic Control Strike?,which incidentally has still
not been resolved and is likely to erupt again at any time. Well we at OTS/
Axair have arranged a special "Strike Cover" for all passengers travelling
with us, fora premium of only £2.25p the policy provides:-
1. Expenses incurred by the traveller after only six hours delay(most delays
are over within 24 hours,so unlike other schemes,we do not want to
convince you that we are doing you a favour by selling some kind of
cover which only begins to be of some value after a delay lasting longer
than 24 hourst.
2. The Traveller can abandon his holiday and claim a full refund at any
time after 24 hours delay.
3. It applies to delays on the return journeys as well as the airport of
departure in the UK.
The daily rate of compensation is set at £20.00p per person insured.

THE ROUSSILLON CHALET HOME IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Yes,you could be the proud owner of one of these specially designed
Roussillon Chalet Homes in the South of France.
Each chalet can sleep up to 6 persons and is fully furnished and
equipped for both personal use and for letting purposes.
There is a fully equipped kitchen,with fridge,cooker,sink and of
course all the pots and pans and crockery and cutlery for 6 persons.
There is one double bedroom and three divan beds with a possible
extra bed in the attic. The Chalet is connected to mains electricity,
drainage,and water,gas is also supplied.
Each chalet stands in its own shaded plot and is surrounded by
pine trees;fruit trees and mimosas. The plots themselves are
situated on our own holiday village Taxo Les Pins which is set
amongst the pine trees of Argeles-sur-Mer and close to a five
mile beach and ten minutes away from a luxury leisure and golf
club at St.Cyprien.
The Roussillon Chalet as shown on the reverse of this paper is
available complete and including installation and all taxes at
£7,500. with no property dollar premium to pay.
We also have another model which is known as the"Roussillon 30",
which you may have seen advertised as a part prize with a Renault
20 TS, in a competition currently being run by GOLDENLAY EGGS Ltd,
who chose our unit and village in preference to any others that
they have seen. The"Roussillon 30" which also comes completely
furnished and equipped and sleeps six,is only £4,925 Inclusive.
All chalets are under our own personal supervision and are managed
year round. We also operate a full letting service on a year round
basis and in fact guarantee a return of £925 on the"Roussillon 30"
for each 9 month period that you let us use the unit.
We operate regular flights to the area and have our own transport
system locally,we arrange economical flights,car rental,full
management and cleaning services and maintenance. Insurance is
also included in the price.
For further details of our properties please contact us directly
on 01-734-5665 and ask for "RSVP"(Roussillon Sun Vacation Plan Ltd).
We are also in the process of developing similar projects to be
carried out in Israel and Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
The present phase in the South of France is limited as we have already
had a very heavy response from the Goldenlay Competition and our own
advertising,so if you are interested in further details please contact
us as quickly as possible.

FAIR TRADING WITH OTS/AXAIR HOLIDAYS
When you make a booking and we confirm it a contract is made between us. The OTS/AXAIR Fair Trading Deal
explains clearly and simply the responsibilities we each accept. Your basic responsibility is to pay us the price of your
holiday and accept the stated liabilities if you wish to alter or cancel the holiday. Our basic responsibility is to provide
you with the holiday you have booked within the terms and specification stated in these conditions. The OTS/AXAIR
Fair Trading Deal applies to all Holidays sold by us during the Winter 1978/79 period. The chances of severe problems
on an OTS/AXAIR holiday are slight but we state what happens if things do go wrong.
YOUR CONTRACT WITH OTS
1. YOUR DEPOSIT PAYMENT
Your completed booking form, including all client's names, must be accompanied by a deposit of £18 per person. This
deposit is your only payment until 10 weeks before departure.
2. YOUR BALANCE PAYMENT
You must pay the balance due at least 10 weeks before departure except if the booking is made within 10 weeks of
the date of departure the full amount must be paid when you book the holiday. Should you fail to make the payment
when due we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled by you and you will not only be liable for the loss of
your deposit but also the full amount of the holiday where invoices have been raised.
3. CANCELLATION OF HOLIDAY BY YOU
Should you or any member of your party cancel your booking once it has been confirmed, the person who has signed
the booking form must give notification IN WRITING to us. If you are covered by a special holiday Insurance and your
reason for cancellation falls within the scope of the Insurance cover we shall then assist you in making a claim to the
Insurance Company, however all Invoices must be fully paid before we can assist with any claim.
4. YOUR TRAVELLING CONDITIONS
The Conditions of carriage of any airline or shipping company on which you travel will apply. Some such of these
conditions may exclude liability and are subject to International agreements between countries. Copies of such
agreements are available upon request. Your contract with us is made on the terms of this Fair Trading Deal is subject
to English Law.
OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
1. WE RESERVE YOUR HOLIDAY
When we receive your booking form and deposit we check the flight availability. If the flight is available the booking
will then be processed and accepted effectively from the date which will appear on the Confirmation of booking
sent to you. There is then a contract between us.
2. OUR GUARANTEE ON PRICE
Although it is not possible to foresee additional expense which may arise, for example, increases in oil prices or
fluctuations of exchange rates, we guarantee that except for any charge we are required to impose by U.K. or any
other Government, the maximum additional charge you will be asked to pay will be £8 per person per week or part of
a week. Any such additional expenses will be notified to you by a final invoice about ten weeks before you depart for
your holiday. Thus you will not be faced with last minute surcharges, save Government imposition as mentioned.
3. OUR LIABILITY
Our business is to book your flight and accommodation and make other arrangements on your behalf. We do not own
the carriers or accommodation and have no direct control over them or persons not employed by us. The Company can
also not be rendered responsible to any changes due to reason of war, threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activities,
strikes, fire, bad weather, natural disasters, closure of airports, technical problems to transport, the acts of any
Governments and similar events beyond our control and where reasonable, the act or omission of any hotel, carrier
or any other person or body over whom we have no direct control.

How to be Beautiful
MAURICE ROWDON
This piece asks whether a woman in trying to look
beautiful isn't preventing herself from actually
being beautiful.
Is she developing her most
attractive self, or doing anything to discover it?
1. Trying to look beautiful is often a way of
concealing an unhealthy organism or what might be
called the toxic woman inside.
Cosmetics replace
the dull and patchy skin with the appearance of
bloom and smoothness.
2. An increasing number of young women, especially
young mothers, are adopting the macrobiotic way of
eating.
This is one of many techniques for inducing
the body to discharge its toxins. It has the advant-
age of involving little effort, unlike fasting tech-
niques.
Drastic reduction of weight takes place
within weeks, sometimes days, though the intake of
food may have increased. Proper food acts medicinally
on the cells: weight-reduction is just an aspect of
the overall toxic release.
3. The macro method involves reduced intake of
sugar and dairy foods and the increase of grain
consumption (wholewheat, millet, whole rice, bulgar
or cous cous, oats, barley) with the help of beans,
especially soya beans and its extracts, and pulse.
American fashion model Laura Bernard developed
hypoglycemia and a cystic ovary at the height of her
career. Eye photography sessions had frequently to
be abandoned because of redness and soreness. After
going macro the spectacular discharge began- --vomiting
and acute physical distress for several days.
If you
stick it out the results are revolutionary---and hard
to believe. The body goes on reacting invisibly for
months.
'I began to look a totally different person.
My ovaries were down to normal size. My skin began
to clear, the whites of my eyes cleared up.'
4. American macros call cow's milk 'moo glue'
because of the sticky quality of its protein element
which tends to hang about in the ovaries, breasts
and lungs. The human system loses the enzyme lactase
necessary for the digestion of any milk after weaning,


or at latest in the third or fourth year.
5. One of the first signs of liberation from the
toxic woman within is a pleasant taste in the mouth.
A common macro experience is to forget to brush the
teeth---there's no bad taste to do the reminding,
even in the morning on rising. Of course bad tastes
in the mouth like bad breath are a symptom of toxins
present in the system. Discharging toxins therefore
has a strict connection with beauty, if that means the
ability to attract.
6. You just let the food do it for you.
According
to oriental diagnosis freckles, excessive hair in
women, bags under the eyes, wrinkles both horizontal
and vertical, ear-lobes that fail to curve inwards
towards the head, grey or white hair, baldness, are
all connected with certain organs and their malfunction.
The first thing a macro learns, therefore, is that
her appearance lies in her own hands.
'Oh God I look
awful!' implies a state of helplessness towards the
body which is quite unnecessary.
7. There are a lot of woman-myths but chief among
them perhaps is the belief that while men frequently
become more attractive as they grow older women deter-
iorate as they near forty and must accept old age
much sooner.
This belief is nothing but another
symptom of the toxic state. Thoughts of old age
and degeneration and disease, not to mention the
fear of cancer, disappear as the toxins disappear.
Equally, iiberation from toxins makes the body
better able than before to cope with occasional junk
food and the modern hazards of pollution and carcinagent
food-ingredients.
For instance macros say that smoking
is only a cancer hazard because of the accompanying
diet. The mucus built up by dairy foods creates
pockets for the nicotine to cling to.
We know of
communities where smoking has been traditional but
no cancer is present.
8. Irritation, nervousness, a vague feeling of
unease may also be symptoms of the toxic woman inside.
This blocks self-discovery, spontaneous and unashamed
movement and speech, natural cheerfulness and energy.
Beauty really lies in the utmost individuality rather
than conformity to the social norms. A woman liberated
from her toxic situation may find that the persona
she has been creating in order to look beautiful may
not belong to her at all. For example, she may
abandon a cleancut appearance for a loose and casual
one-- --or vice versa.
Thus beauty is a possibility
for most women, not---as the social norms say---a
lucky few.

1. Trying to look beautiful is often a way of
concealing an unhealthy organism or what might be
called the toxic woman inside. Cosmetics replace
the dull and patchy skin with the appearance of
bloom and smoothness. It is arguable, historically,
that cosmetics came in with bad food habits about
400 years ago.
2. An increasing number of young women, especially
young mothers, are adopting the macrobiotic way of
eating. This is one of many techniques for inducing
the body to discharge its toxins. It has the advant-

intake
[Few of us in the West realise that proper food
has a medicinal as well as energy-providing role.
It is this active medicinal function, particularly
strong in the 'dense' grains, together with the cessation
of mucus-forming dairy foods, that helps discharge
the toxic substances in the body.
American fashion model Laura Bernard developed
hypoglycemia and a cystic ovary at the height of her
career. Eye photography sessions had to be abandoned
because of redness and soreness. After going macro
the spectacular discharge began---vomiting, acute
distress for days.
If you stick it out as she did
the results are revolutionary. 'I began to look a
totally different person. My ovaries were down to
normal size. My skin began to clear, the whites
of my eyes cleared up. She looked younger than
she had five years before.


American macros call cow's milk 'moo glue'
because of the glutinous quality ot its protein
content which tends to hang about in the ovaries,
breasts and lungs. The human system loses the
enzyme lactase necessary for the digestion of any
milk soon after weaning, or at the latest in the
third or fourth year. "Moo glue' is designed, the
macros say, to produce in a matter of months a
creature which will weigh slightly less than a ton
when adult, requiring a large calcium and protein
element.
Human milk with its lighter protein and
fats and increased Vitamin C (about five times as
much) lays its emphasis on the development of the
nervous system, rather than a massive bone structure.
It is therefore one part protein to 7 parts carbo-
hydrate, while cow's milk is 3 parts protein to
only 5 parts carbohydrate.
The mucus formed by
undigested milk tends to clog the bladder, kidneys,
skin cells, preventing the natural elmination of
poisons.
5. One of the first signs of liberation from the
toxic woman within is a pleasant taste in the mouth.
A common macro experience is to forget to brush the
teeth---there's no bad taste to do the reminding,
even in the morning on rising. Of course, bad
taste in the mouth like bad breath is a symptom
of toxins present in the organism. Discharging
toxins therefore has a strict connection with beauty,
if that means the ability to attract. This applies
to other intimate areas. Laura Bernard says that
if she goes on a 'dairy binge' for some days she
finds a white vaginal discharge the invariable result.
The 'stinging sensation' experienced by many women
in that area (as well as by their partners) is another
symptom of toxins present---they find easy access to
that part of the body.
6. The war on toxins needn't be interior only.
Clay Yor wholemeal flour, favoured by Indina women)
can draw the surface toxins from the skin or epidermis,
while the food is working on the dermis or lower skin
where the blood vessels, nerve ends and sweat glands
are. Left to dry on the face, clay or wholemeal
flour draws the skin tight and gives it a healthy
glow. It also eases wrinkles.
But the chief work is smoothing the face is
internal. You just let the food do it for you.
According to oriental diagnosis freckles, excessive
hair in women, bags under the eyes, wrinkles both
horizontal and vertical, ear-lobes that fail to curve
inwarsd towards the head, grey or white hair, baldness
are all connected with certain organs and their
malfunction. The first thing a macro learns,
therefore, is that her appearance lies in her own
hands.

8. But it isn't easy for the woman looking for
a health technique these days.
There is much
chauvinism among the various health exponents.
I'm on the board of a Hampshire clinic which
specialises in non-specialisation: the aim is to
bring together all types of healing and medicine
from the Ayurvedic of ancient times to surgery.
But in the matter of nutrition there is no unanimity,
and much ignorance-- --laterally.
Another difficulty is that the more toxic you
are the more reluctant you are to change things.
It is a famous fact that the liver craves the very
things that are doing it harm. A toxic situation
actually creates fear of disease, and therefore a
reluctance to let the mind dwell on the matter at
all.
Toxic people invariably feel nausea or distaste
at the thought of their internal workings, or at
the use of words like 'discharge' etc.
Irritation, nercousness, a vague feeling of
unease may also be the symptoms of the toxic woman
inside.
This blocks self-discovery, spontaneous
and unashamed movement and speech, natural cheerful-
ness and energy. Beauty really lies in the utmost
individuality rather than in following the social
norms. A woman liberated from her toxic situation
may find that the persona she has been creating in
order to look beautiful may not belong to her at all.
For example, she may abandon a clean-cut appearance
for a loose and casual one-- -or vice versa.
Thus


mast
beauty is a possibility for all women, not--as the
social norms say---a lucky few.
I'll be quoting a number of women, among them Hannah
Yankovich-Besan who runs the Hawkins Beauty Clinic
in Knightsbridge and is privately a macro.

tends to treat the body as dead even when it is
alive, so that an attitude of helpnessness develops
towards it.
This failure to study the live body
at its energy points, as oriental medicine used to
in its heyday, was in its turn derived from a
religious rejection of the body, as an area of
sin and tempation.
Thus we and especially our
doctors are following church attitudes which they
would vehemently reject if they were confronted
with them. The body has in fact an amazing
resilience, and you realise this when it has
undergone changes which have involved no effort
on your part whatever, and all of a suddeny you
start living without constant clods and flu,
and intestinal distress or bad d gestion, or
nervous headaches, or depression, just because
the toxins have disappearened.
Thus we can tolerate certain things which may be
considered 'carincinogent' much better if we have 0

nitrite present in certain foodstuffs.

one ceases to be hooked on sugar and junk food.
Fighting hunger for these things is unpleasant
and in the end useless.
Much easier just to
supplement the junk food with real food, so that
the cells do it for you.
This extends into the
whole area of the personality. A junk food addict
will invariably stay up late.

this is insomnia, and this is one of the first
symtoms to disappear with proper diet. Thus the
late nights stop of their own accord---you want
to crash at a reasonable tume because you feel
tired and know you can sleep.

Privately she's a macro and has some tinteresting
detailed tips on this subject.

concentrations were all normal.
He was gradually rewarmed and given intravenous dextrose and
electrolytes. Severe bronchopneumonia developed the day after
admission but this gradually responded to treatment with gentamicin.
During the first 48 hours after admission he had generalised fits
(which were abolished with diazepam) and became hypoglycaemic
(blood sugar concentration <1 mmol/l (<181 mg/ 100 ml)). This was
corrected with 20%, dextrose. Initially the plasma sodium concentra-
tion remained low, but it gradually rose to within normal limits by
the 11th day, when the oedema disappeared. By this time he was
established on a standard infant feed. The table shows a dietary
assessment on admission while he was taking kokoh. He gained 1:51 kg
in the five weeks after admission. During this period his mother
became increasingly worried that he was becoming too fat and
declared that she would resume his macrobiotic diet on discharge.
After consultation, application was made to the juvenile court and a
supervision order was granted. Once this was obtained a compromise

parents, and he was discharged.

Mr. Maurice Rowdon,
5 Tamworth St.,
London, S.W.6.
Dear Maurice,
Thanks for the great piece on Macro Mums.
I don't think that we can stand another one on the milk
factor at the moment though obviously it is a subject we might
come back to at a later date.
Yours sincerely,

THE MACRO MUMS
MAURICE ROWDON
The Milk Marketing Board had better start
worrying.
An increasing number of mothers who
follow macrobiotic diets (which emphasise whole
grains and discourage dairy foods) are asking why
we should lean So heavily on the COW for bringing
up our young.
At the Community Health Foundation
in London, headquarters of the macrobiotic movement,
it's quite usual to see one of the macro mums
-1 tha reslauraur
breast-feeding her babyjafter a three-course wholefood
meal.
Rosie Laselle, 36-year-old wife of a qualified
Highgate osteopath, is the mother of a nine-month
girl called Tashi and says she hasn't drunk milk
for years.
'I'm still breast-feeding Tashi for
the last two feeds of the day,' she added.
'I was
lucky at the West London hospital where I had her.
The nurses and doctors couldn't have been nicer,
and my husband was allowed to bring in all my food.
They couldn't understand why I wasn't anaemic and
kept giving me tests.
But my blood count was
terrific and the doctor let me off the iron pills.
I've had too much breast milk if anything.'
Her husband Rex is chiefly against cow's milk
because it builds up pockets of mucus in the human
system, chiefly in the breast, ovaries and lungs.
He connects it with asthma, sinusitis and even, in
the long run, cancer.
'It's the mucus that makes
smoking the health hazard it is, not the smoke itself,'
he says.
'We know of communities where smoking
and cancer aren't correlated, and they're usually
the ones where no dairy food is eaten.'
Cow's milk, runs the macro argument, is for


building calves, not humans.
It has to produce
in relatively few months a creature weighing slightly
less than a ton when adult.
This makes quick bone
development necessary.
Hence cow's milk contains
three times as much calcium as human.
It is three
parts protein (for the body-building) against five
parts carbohydrate (for the energy), whereas human
milk has only part protein against no fewer than
seven parts carbohydrate.
The fact is we're structured differently from
cows---in bones, growth rate, digestive systems.
Baby's priority, unlike the calf's, is the development
of the nervous system.
Therefore human milk contains
a much lighter protein factor and easily digested fats.
We should look first at a child's vitality, not the
weight and bulk, say the macro enthusiasts.
The
Japanese people, who have traditionally never eaten
dairy foods, are on average smaller than ourselves
but no less active, intelligent or strong.
And it
may be that the remarkable work-energy for which
they're famous has its origin in better dietary
habits.
American macros call cow's milk 'moo-glue'
because of the sticky quality of its protein which
tends to linger unabsorbed in the human system.
As babies we are equipped with the enzyme lactase,
they say, and this makes it easy for us to digest
milk properly.
But after we're weaned we start
losing that enzyme and can at best absorb about half
of the glue, while the rest clogs the kidneys,
bladder and skin cells, impeding the natural outflow
of poisons.
The British Department of Health's handbook on
nutrition is as hooked on cow's milk as the rest
of the population.
Even so it cites children whose


di gestive systems can't tolerate it.
And it adds
that exactly the same nutriment can be obtained from
other foods.
Only it doesn't spell out what the
other foods are.
The macros spell it out very
clearly.
They say the protein content in cow's
milk is much exaggerated---no more than 3% by weight
compared with 10% in whole grains, 20-25% in beans
and as much as 50% in soya products (higher than meat).
As for the calcium content, much favoured today for
the development of young human bones, one cup of
cow's milk has 280mgs while the equivalent cup of
kelp or Irish Moss (seaweed) contains over 2000mgs.
The Department of Health's handbook quotes cases
where schoolboys had fewer fractures when milk was
drunk daily, but the macros say that the milk only
helped because the rest of their diet was SO bad.
Pip Llewellyn, 24-year-old wife of a macrobiotic
baker, says that her 14-month boy Jair loves his
soup when there's seaweed in it.
But 90% of his
food still comes from the breast.
'There's a
traditional Japanese remedy against anaemia which is
very good for maintaining breast flow,' I Pip tells me.
'It's called koikoku, which is carp soup.
You simmer
a whole carp for twelve hours and eat it over a
period of five days.
Cooked with carrots it's
delicious.'
Both mothers reminded me that human milk contains
five times as much Vitamin C as a cow's.
'My milk gives Tashi maximum immunisation against
disease, 1 Rosie added.
'No COW can do that for her
any more than I could do it for a calf'.
'Milk is for babies,' explains Jean Cox, mother
of four and at present running the Community Health
Foundation playschool.
'We lose the enzyme lactase
because we can chew and absorb bulk foods.
It's
ridiculous to go on treating ourselves like babies


all our lives by continuing to drink cow's milk.
No other animal in nature does that.'
Orthodox medical opinion may soon be behind
her.
A study carried out last year by the University
of Lund in Sweden showed that most cases of cholic
in babies could be cured by taking mother off cow's
milk for a time. Here in Britain the allergy
specialists at Guy's Hospital believe that the
increasing asthma, hay fever and eczema in children
may be related to the decline of breast feeding and
the substitution of cow's milk.
So the macro mums
may not be SO way out after all.

Dear Mr Rowden
PORTSLADE PRODUCTIONS LIMITED
In an attempt to try and make some progress on the production
of Accounts for Portslade my assistant Jim Lyon, has prepared
Draft Accounts for the period 16th August 1972 to 31st March
1973 and also for the years ended 31st March 1974 and 1975,
copies of which are enclosed for your attention.
I would be pleased if you would examine the Accounts and let
me know if they appear to be correct. I would mention that
the box office receipts figure of £461, shown in the Accounts
to 31st March 1973, has been confirmed directly with The Arts
Theatre, Great Newport Street and that the drawings made by
you of £250, being five payments of £50, have been charged to
a global Directors' Loan Account. I do not however possess
enough details to be able to analyse this Account, between
contributions and drawings made by Mr Kimber and yourself, and
have therefore noted in a Schedule attached to this letter how
the balance on the Directors' Loan Account has been arrived at.
As to the future of the company, I would suggest that, unless
you will require the company for some other purpose, the Accounts
for the years ended 31st March 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979 are
also prepared and then the Registrar is asked to strike the
company off the Register as defunct. It will however be
necessary for the company to pay it's debts before this action
can be taken.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future regarding
the Accounts enclosed and as to your views of my suggestions as
to the future course of action to be taken.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely.

McKelvey suddenly broke off and
addressed the thrush. "Come on, Sam,
give us something in the way of imita-
tions, will you?" Then he addressed
me, to explain, "He's feeling very
stagefrighty today. He tends to stand
staring into his food bowl and vocaliz-
ing-that's his way of communicating :
to me that he'd like something more in
the way of breakfast. You ask him to
say something and he shuts up, just like
a lot of conditioned animals." Mc-
Kelvey laughed. "Another interesting
thing about interspecific communication
is that some birdcalls mean the same
thing to several species. These are
alarm calls, mustly. A robin calling in
distress because somebody is handling
its nest will bring blue jays, Baltimore
orioles, and catbirds to help drive away
the predator-and that's not out of
altruistic interest on their part but only
because they're attracted by these dis-
tress calls. The sounds trigger a de-
fense mechanism in them. Territori-
ality is forgotten during such stress pe-
riods, and several birds from adjoining
territories will get together to drive off
the cock or cat or snake that is disturb-
ing the nest site, as soon as one parent
gives the distress call."
I asked if this had to do with what
is called "mobbing.'

said. "Ordinary mobbing takes place

sensory perception, wrote Dr. Fox, be-
cause a wolf seems to know what the
handler is going to do next, and to be
aware of exactly how the man feels
that day. Besides, an observer can see
a "subtle rapport" not only between
wolf and wolf but between himself and
a wolf, especially when the wolf is ac-
customed to human company. The ani-
mal can pick out his owner from a
crowd, and when he sees the owner
coming he will howl and jump around
like a joyful excited dog. Dr. Fox
does not interpret these reactions as
extrasensory perception but, rather, as
reflecting the exquisite sensitivity of
wolves. He explains these phenomena
by citing the wolf's talent for acute
observation (although he does not dis-
count the possibility that animals may
possess E.S.P.). It's like Clever Hans

Dr. Fox notes, "Many of these hu-
man signals are inborn, as in the wolf,
and many human signals are similar to
the wolf's." Wolves depend on inherit-
ed expressions, even though they learn
other things from their elders, such as
their position in the pack hierarchy.
Nor, says Dr. Fox, is it likely that they
have evolved to the point where, like
men, they can disguise their true feel-
ings. They are more like children-
more open and honest. "Such hon-

Descartes, of course, lived in the
seventeenth century, and many discov-
eries have been made since then to dis-
prove these statements, but Chomsky
remains infexible. He has also writ-
ten, "The unboundedness of human
speech, as an expression of limitless
thought, is an entirely different matter
[from animal communication), because
of the freedom from stimulus control
and the appropriateness to new situa-
tions. Modern studies of animal com-
munication SO far offer no counter-
evidence to the Cartesian assumption
that human language is based on an en-
tirely different principle. Each known
animal communication system either
consists of a fixed number of signals,
each associated with a specific range of
eliciting conditions or internal states, or
a fixed number of linguistic dimen-
sions,' each associated with a non-
linguistic dimension."
Recent evidence, as Dr. Griffin re-
marks, calls into question these sweep-
ing generalizations. Chomsky's com-
ments were published in 1966, but if he
has thought better of them he has yet
to say so. The experiments of Dr.
R. Allen Gardner and his wife, Dr.
Beatrice T. Gardner, of the University

of Nevada at Reno, in teaching a young
chimpanzee named Washoe to commu-

the Sarah project because, he said, it

not enough care was taken to avoid the
Clever Hans syndrome. However, at
as symposium on language and commu-
nication held in 1975, a young profes-
sor of psychology named Dr. Roger
Fouts, who has worked for a long time
with Washoe and other chimps in Reno
and Norman, came forward in defense
of Sarah's accomplishments. He quoted
Wolfgang Kohler, author of "The
Mentality of Apes," who worked with
a colony of chimpanzees in the Canary
Islands community of Tenerife early
in this century, as saying, "The de-
cisive explanations for the understand-
ing of apes frequently arise from quite
unforeseen types of behavior; for ex-
ample, use of tools by the animals in
ways very different from human
beings. If we arrange all conditions in
love
such a way that, so far as possible, the
ape. can only show the kinds, of be-
havior in which we are interested in
advance, or else nothing essential at
all, then it will become less likely that
the animal does the unexpected and
thus teaches the observer something." >)
It may be, therefore, said Dr. Fouts,
that one can criticize Premack for ar-
ranging conditions in advance SO that
Henredon
Sarah could show only the types of be-
havior that he was interested in, but
Premack made it quite clear from the
start that he was interested only in cer-
tain behaviors, so perhaps he should not
be criticized for having done exactly
what he set out to do. (Fouts.admitted,
however, that the chance of a Clever
Hans reaction had not been obviated in
Sarah's case, whereas with Washoe and
her classmates due precautions have al-
ways been taken.)

Sarah, adding, "His basic strategy was


and has been that every complex lin-
guistic rule can be analyzed into simple
units. The definition of those units and
the teaching of them through appropri-
ate methods can produce language con-
fidence even in life forms that have no
formal public language as employed by
man." What the workers at Yerkes
have found out with their Lana project,
said Rumbaugh, allows them to extend
the basis for arguing that language is
not a unique and distinguishing char-
acteristic of man. Rather, it is "a com-
petence which has its roots in the cog-
nitive functions which man and apes
share because of a close biological re-
lationship." >>
Dr. Rumbaugh summarized the
conclusions he has come to:
First, apes learn words with relative
ease. They start out slowly, but even-
tually learn with increasing facility and
become good at it, until one lesson per
word is sometimes enough.
Second, apes readily start stringing
signs or words together to form sen-
tences. "They can master the elements

He told of an experience he had had
just after he arrived in Oklahoma to
work at the chimpanzee colony in Nor-
man. In the laboratory was an ap-
proximately two-hundred-pound male
named Musifer. Fouts, as part of his
training, was cleaning the laboratory,
and he began hosing out Musifer's
cage. Musifer got hold of the hose and
started to pull from his end, dragging
it into the cage. The hose was very ex-
pensive, and Fouts was sure he would
lose his job if he allowed it to be eaten,
so he tried hard to pull it away-but in
vain. He knew he was losing. A BB
gun was kept in the laboratory for such
emergencies; usually, the shot merely

him with great respect. When it was
time for Booee to go back to the island,
however, he didn't obey orders but
climbed a tree instead. Fouts ordered
him repeatedly to come down, but he
wouldn't. Fouts wrapped the end of

noon. She was sometimes given water
instead of milk, and cabbage (which
she did not care for) instead of monkey
chow. Generally, when Gill deceived
her she noticed and protested. Some-
times she responded with her own
order; sometimes she simply refused
anything. In the afternoon, when she
would normally be expecting food, he
asked, "Lana want what drink?" She
replied, "No Lana want drink. Lana
want chow." In many instances when
water was substituted for whatever
she had asked for, she requested that
the water be removed from the dis-
penser and that it be replaced with
what she wanted. On one occasion,
Gill put cabbage in the machine when
she was expecting chow. Lana watched
and asked, "You put chow in ma-
chine?" Gill answered, "Chow in ma-
chine.' " She repeated her question and
finally stated, "No chow in machine."
Gill asked, "What in machine?" Lana
answered, "Cabbage in machine."
Then shes requested, "You move cab-
