Description
This file contains 11 letters to Herbert Read from Graham Greene, and 2 from his secretary Josephine Reid.
The letters chiefly regard travel advice and arrangments. In the letters from 1966 Greene advises Read regarding his forthcoming visit to Cuba. The letters from 1968 concern a visit that Read was due to make to a house owned by the Greene family in Anacapri, but was unable to do so due to ill health.
One letter, written from Antibes, refers to Greene's book The Comedians (1966). 'I am so glad you found the Comedians true. The Trianon was really the Olaffson where I stayed last time. There were two guests besides myself more or less resembling the Smiths.He was an old artist (I suspect a bad one) who wanted to teach the use of the silk screen to the Haitian painters, but of course he could get nowhere with the government.'
