DAVID ARCHER APPEAL FUND
SIR,--This letter is about Mr. David Archer's dis- tinguished record in publishing new poetry. Over the last twenty-seven years in the name of the Parton Press, his courageous and unstinted efforts, including a great deal of personal financial support, have resulted in the publication of the works of a remark- able series of poets each of whom is now recognised as a poet of distinction.
Owing to his generous support of poets and artists both privately and in the publication and exhibition of their works Mr. Archer is now in straitened circumstances and in most urgent need of financial help, without which he is unable to continue. So much has his work been valued that all the sponsors Of this Appeal, many of whom have themselves con- tributed generously, feel it is essential that every effort be made to help Mr. Archer continue. We have therefore organised this Appeal, in order to ensure the continuance of a unique and imagina- tive element in the cultural life of this country and We ask you to contribute. The money received from contributors will be held by the Trustees upon Trusts already approved by the Trustees and ourselves.
All contributions should be made payable to The David Archer Appeal Fund, and sent to The Trustees of the David Archer Appeal Fund, c/o Barclays Bank Ltd., 5 and 6 Henrietta Street, London, WC2. Yours faithfully,
DOM MORALS PATRICK SWIFT DAVID WRIGHT
