Please not the death of forgetfulness – not too soon...

Roberta Hewitt

Socialist, activist and wife of John Hewitt

Oh dear I’m getting weary of writing going on & going nowhere except duty calls – we will become very unsociable – J is a terrific worker I think but I hope his Ulster Poets have some value to somebody in the future – How sad if all this work would lie in a wee dusty heap and dwindle away & nothing more be heard, it has happened before. Please, please not the death of forgetfulness – not too soon.
