Carbon copy of a typed letter, unsigned, to Norman [Hay]. Writing re tonic sol-fa songs and the BBC. Mentions Walton O'Donnell. Encloses songs not in Mr Hay's possession. Sam notes that songs 246 to 464 in the series of 'Songs of the People' were not contributed by him. He was urged by Bacon to start up again. He believes that songs in the interim were a 'caricature type and few were really folk songs'. Encloses songs principally noted from James Carmichael of 32 Waring Street, Ballymena. Rough notes written in bottom corner of page in pencil.
