Digging for Dylan

From Mr Andrew Lycett Sir: I read Robert McCrum's account (Plum job', 24 March) of the success of his appeal to Spectator readers for information about P.G. Wodehouse on the very day I signed a contract with Weidenfeld & Nicolson to write a new biography of the poet Dylan Thomas. Would you very kindly allow me to make a similar request in connection with my research? If any of your readers have recollections, letters, leads, suggestions about who to contact, or any other input relating to Dylan Thomas, I would love to hear from them, either by post or by email.
