Beschreibung

2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, aged and worn. Folded twice. The letter begins: 'When my Eugenic play "The Blindness of Virtue" was first produced at the Little Theatre two years ago [i.e. in 1912] (about which Dr Saleeby [i.e. eugenicist Caleb Saleeby (1878-1940)] wrote very kindly & in great agreement in the P. M. G) you were kind enough to send a member of your staff to see me for a talk.' He explains that since that time he has had the play 'in the United States & Canada where it is still running & I have many more things to say about it & those places'. He suggests a meeting at the Ambassadors Theatre, where he has a production, one morning that week. He ends with 'great admiration for your wonderful work for our Georgeridden country'. Pencil note at head: 'We'd better do this. RB'. The writer of the note is identified, in another pencil hand, as Robert Bell, the recipient named as F. A. H. Eyles.
