Title	Correspondence
Date	1964-1971
Description	Contains correspondence received by McCarthy and arranged alphabetically. Original folders included a manuscript note [in the hand of Cavan McCarthy?] headed 'Manuscript of letters' and reading 'Readers are reminded that this is the working file made up by the editor over several years. It was not intended to be a smart collection of literary valuables. Items of a purely routine or purely personal nature have been excluded. Letters are in alphabetical order by sender but within a section relating to a particular person they are not necessarily in chronological order. A few very early letters have numbers in red biro on the corners; many of the early letters had addresses cut out during a fit of paranoia around the time of the Golden Convolvulus trial. The small rubber-stamped dates on many letters are my dates of receipt. Otherwise readers will have to rely on internal evidence for dates.'
