Scope and content
Holograph letter from John [McGahern], Colgate University, Hamilton, New York (US), to Niall [Walsh, Ballinasloe]. He will be glad when they leave in two months' time; the teaching leaves little room for his own work and life. Describing the abyss between the new and old generation among the Boston Jesuits at whose university he gave a lecture: "young Jesuits all swingers, dress closer to Carnaby Street than the round collars of my youth..." Weighing social and moral perceptions of self in the US by comparison to Ireland; "I doubt if there ever was any sense of religion in this country, as we came to know it..." Television and press are full of the north: "Brian Friel has suggested that Nero and his fiddle should be hired for a long Irish season". References to nature; practical hints for [acquiring property].
