A handwritten fragment of a memoir, [?1957], by Caitlin Thomas, entitled 'Finito (the Cuckoo) the Second Chapter'.
The manuscript contains descriptions of her visit to Ireland in May 1955, and recollections of her father, Francis Macnamara, her father-in-law, David John Thomas, and her father's friend 'Cuckoo' O'Brien (pp. 1-11), as well as a few notes and word lists (pp. 13-14). Extracts from the manuscript were published in Paul Ferris, Caitlin: The life of Caitlin Thomas (London, 1995), pp. 48, 49-50, 64-65, 168; Ferris (p. 49) suggests it was intended as part of Thomas' book Leftover Life to Kill (London, 1957).
