      <value>Typed letter signed "Sam. Beckett". Beckett responds to Mr. Walker&#x2019;s suggested interpretation, in particular on the prevalence of skull images in his work, of which Beckett offers a number of examples, including in Malone and Murphy, before giving a remarkable aper&#xE7;u of his creative process, admitting that he hears such 'harmonics ... all kinds, dimly when working, but it is the immediate thing that concerns me, the literal statement'; his view of his work is perhaps by that measure 'irretrievably vitiated'. The letter ends with  Beckett confessing that he could go on in such terms 'with unabated vagueness for pages'; although he 'cannot raise myself out of my non-interpretative mud', he is happy for others to do so, if in such style.</value>
