Scope and content
Typescript drafts of a number of pieces bound together; including a draft entitled 'Section of a Novel' which is a large extract from 'The Barracks' beginning 'Mrs. Reegan darned an old woollen sock as February night came on, her head bent, catching the treads on the needle....' Several other sections of 'the Barracks' are also included, however they are bound together in the wrong order. Also includes 'Episodes from a Novel' which consists of extracts from 'The End or The Beginning of Love' beginning 'It was fearful to lie there in the night, the moonlight on the scarred brass bells that hung from the railing at the foot of the bed, and wait for Mahoney to come home.' This extract appeared in X magazine in 1961. Also contains typescript draft of 'Coming into his Kingdom'' ' beginning ' "They're in love! They're in love! They're in love! Nora's in love with Stevie," ' the crowd of children cried at the fallen girl and boy.' Also contains a handwritten fragment of 'Strandhill, The Sea.' All drafts contain some handwritten amendments.
