More Letters by John Millington Synge.

- Abstract
In May 1905 John Millington Synge received a request from C.P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian, to tour the Congested Districts in the west of Ireland, and send his observations as a series of personal letters to the paper. Doubtless urged by their common friend John Masefield, Scott suggested that Jack Butler Yeats might join the playwright as illustrator. Four letters from Synge to Scott concerning the arrangements were not included in The Collected Letters of John Millington Synge when first published in 1968-9. This omission is finally repaired here.
