Graham Greene (1904-1991) - Typed Letter Signed to V. H. COLLINS — “I AM NO GRAMMARIAN” - 1953

Typed Letter Signed to V. H. COLLINS (Vere Henry, 1872-1966, Author) thanking him for his “letter and for your generous praise. I will go through the points you raise with the book as soon as I have an opportunity and if, as I expect, I agree with them all (for I am no grammarian) I will incorporate them in any reprint ...”, 1 side 8vo., C6 Albany, London, 12th June 1953.
Collins wrote several books on writing and Words. It is interesting that Greene might have incorporated his suggestions into his novel.
In 1953, the Holy Office informed Greene that The Power and the Glory was damaging to the reputation of the priesthood; but later, in a private audience with Greene, Pope Paul VI told him that, although parts of his novels would offend some Catholics, he should ignore the criticism. In 1954 Greene first travelled to Haiti where The Comedians is set.
