On 24 March 1958, Beckett wrote to Magee while in the midst of writing "your monologue"--i.e. Krapp's Last Tape--and referred to Magee's readings from Molloy and "From an Abandoned Work": "Donald McWhinnie will have told you how much I was moved by your readings, I look forward to hearing you in Malone." -The Letters of Samuel Beckett: 1957-1965, p. 120
