Henderson tells Brophy that The White Feather was produced that night, the first two acts were well received but that the third act was not as successful. He then says he will send Brophy the papers in the morning.

Says he is enclosing a check valued at £2.2.0, 5% of the receipts of The White Feather. “The fee arranged by the Directors on future productions of plays produced by the Abbey Company”, and asks for receipt. There is a side note saying “We are booked in Cork December 7th”

Thanks Brophy for sending him the papers, says Brophy “certainly carried on a rigorous epistolary campaign”. Does not know whether or not the date has been fixed for Brophy’s new play, but he will see that Brophy’s paragraphs go in to the directors and also in the other evening papers and weeklies. Says he hopes to get Brophy’s play read this week, and that they had an exceptional week with “The Mineral Workers”, and that it was a success. Says “don’t forget the photographs”.

Henderson acknowledging receipt of Brophy’s letter from the (20th/ 24th?) and instructions for Brophy to send his play to W.B. Yeats, ℅ Lady Gregory, Burren, Co. Clare. Written on Abbey Theatre stationary, Norreys Connell listed as a director of the Abbey along with Yeats and Gregory

Says the Abbey company will be paying a visit in the week commencing August 29th. Gives the list of plays to be produced “for the first time in Cork”, as The Playboy of the Western World, The Eloquent Dempsey by William Boyle, Harvest by Robinson, Deirdre, and The Gaol Gate. Says he is anxious for the trip to be a success and hopes Brophy will do everything in his power to help. Says he was glad to hear that the Directors have accepted another play by Brophy, and that had it been ready sooner he would have liked to see it done in Cork. On the Abbey letterhead, Lennox Robinson now listed as “manager”, also something is written and initialed by RJB about the 16th of Aug, 1910, in the top left corner.

Says he received the paragraphs, and has sent them to the daily and weekly papers. Says he also got Brophy’s photo and will try to put it in the papers. Says he hopes Brophy will come up, and wishes his play success.

Thanks him for his letter and answers his “query”. Gives the name, George Roberts, and his address, Middle Abbey St, Dublin. Says he was told there was a notice of his play in “The Ena” but he did not see it. Says they had a very successful week with “The Man Who Missed”.

Henderson confirms receipt of Brophy’s letter of the 14th, says the company are giving every effort to make it a good show, and thank he thinks it “ought to go alright”. Also says if Brophy sends him his photograph, Henderson might get it into the Independent or some evening papers.

Says Brophy’s letter has been forwarded to him “here” (the Abbey), where they are playing that week, and they are going to London and then to Cork. Says they were obliged to “chop The White Feather out of our Cork programme this time.” Says it was the Directors intention to have it produced in Cork, but owing to rehearsing new plays and revising old ones they were unable to. Says they expect to visit Cork again in the Spring, and when the play is properly rehearsed and staged it will be produced. Says they will be playing Blanco Posnet.

Reply to Brophy’s letter of the 12th of Oct, says that Ms. Allgood has been busy preparing two plays for production but that she intended to reply to Brophy’s letters and has asked Henderson to apologize for not doing so. Says that in reference to the first two acts of the play, Lady Gregory wants Brophy to retain them until she and Yeats are able to see a rehearsal. Says that Yeats is coming up to Dublin in a few days, and they want to see a rehearsal of the play before Brophy makes any changes. Says, “I need not say you have given no offense”.
