Scope and content

Letter to John McGahern signed Tom [Jordan] with an address at '56 Ennafort Park'; the letter relates mainly to the short story Korea , Jordan writes 'Could I make a few suggestions from the reader's point of view without interfering where I have no business. I found the name confusing. I thought the execution was in Korea and had difficulty later in putting it in its right setting... and the oftener I read it the better I liked it.' He also asks 'Did R.T.E. approach you for "Writer In Profile?" I like Niall Sheridan's attitude towards the writer.'
