About MeTwo letters to the editor (of an unknown publication) dated 18.4.88: one, written by Robert S. Crozier, mildly chastises Ian Hamilton Finlay for allying himself with Saint Just's political philosophy; the other, written by Finlay himself, complains about being referred to as "our finest landscape poet".

This newspaper cutting is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing, OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend.
