Scope and content
File of correspondence between Thomas Kilroy and his literary (drama) agents at Margaret Ramsay Ltd, London (UK), their successors Casarotto Ramsay Ltd, and solicitors and other agents working on Kilroy's behalf, regarding their management of performances or publication of his plays and sometimes prose, and literary advice (where such letters are not contained in the respective files). Most correspondence is either from Margaret ("Peggy") Ramsay, or Tom Erhardt. Besides business matters, offering feedback on his work, e.g. On the novel Fall from Grace , and general observations on writing plays, writing for television, on literary figures and on other agents. Margaret Ramsay commenting on "success": "Beckett survived because he had to live with nothing, and nobody, for so [long], that he is touched by neither. This is important - there is still death at the other end; and life is sweet, but terrible."(4 November 1968)
