Scope and content

Says he has not yet seen “Gombeenism”, but will ask Yeats to show it to him. Says that Yeats thought it would be good “when somewhat altered”, and that they may be able to get to it in the autumn when they are in Dublin and are able to put on new work. Also says he doesn't know if they will be able to put on Martin Whelan before they go to England, but not to be too discouraged because he thinks Whelan is good except for some of the speeches of the principal characters which he describes as “unlifelike”. Asks Brophy not to grudge him for producing a new play, that he has not done one for two years and if Brophy’s new play is put on in the autumn it would be “just the same rate of progression”. Abbey stationery is drastically different (simpler) from 1911.
