Re: June Joyce Allan. "Miss Allan is anxious to devote her time to serious writing, but is unable to do so without financial help. I have read her poetry over the past nine years. It displays genuine feeling, and I am confident that a bursary would enable her to develop her undoubted abilities. I may add that only very rarely do I act as sponsor of such candidates; indeed, I do not remember a previous occasion on which I have done so."
