He is very busy framing these and painting new ones [...] The Dublin Drama Festival has been abandoned, for the Council was unable to find plays as suitable substitutes for those withdrawn. It has been a disappointing business. My earnest blessing, darling, on all you do; but remember my advice to memorise, if you can, a few things to say when Broadcasting or on Television; be calm & relaxed as you can [...]“. – The sketch, entitled „Dreaming of Spring“, is depicting O’Casey snoozing in his arm chair, while his family is abroad. – On stationery with printed address; stronger traces of folding, the reverse somewhat spotty.
