Don’t often ask for retweets but hoping Irish Twitter will do its thing. Years ago I found this letter from Seamus Heaney inside a 2nd hand book I bought in Belfast. I wonder if the owner would like it back? pic.twitter.com/Qax46RfVfp

Update…
Update, in less than thirty minutes I think we have found the owner, and are contacting family right now. Special thanks to @QUBSC

Update…
Yes, it was to me! I am the Sophia Hillan who was at Irish Studies and would love to have it back. I am pleased and touched that the finder thought to contact me. Seamus was a kind and loyal friend until his untimely death.

In fairness.
Thanks Dermot Bohan
Fair play to that guy :)
…letter is dated 1973!
Yes, people actually existed in 1973 Clampers.
Just as they did in ’72.
You win a gold star, now have a lie down, it’s hot.
awww
He should send her a video of him holding it by the edges then setting fire to it.
I was thinking wiping his bum area but same sentiment
xo
leave out the “xo”, bud
xoxo gossip girl
Twitter actually used for something useful!!
*thumbs*
guy might have made some money out of that, but he did the right thing.
he can still dm yer one a ransom request
I read that as random and my imagination went for a spin
I would like two eggs, lightly boiled please.
You’d have to love Heaney. Absolute gent.
Letter was typed on a typewriter. I can’t make out what it says though. Maybe on a bigger screen.
Heaney has never captured my imagination. No doubt some defect on my part.
No doubt. You’re a disgrace to our nation. Gwan away over t’England.
Have’nt. Oh Seamus.
