Robinson writing that "there is no use getting into a fuss about Martin Whelan". Says that as he told him it is set to be produced December 5th but that they have a lot of work to do and have already altered the program but if all went well they would play "Martin Whelan".

Says that Yeats has received the new version of "Gombeenism" but does not think he has read it yet.

Says he encloses a couple of programs from the week before, and that he believed "the play went well" but that he was not there. Says the secondary company is going on tour in a few weeks but will not take Whelan, because with such a big cast it is difficult to get enough people who can travel.

Encloses a letter of Ray's which he opened by mistake because it was put in his pile of letters. Says he thinks "The Gombeen Man" went well the night before, that there was not a large audience but that it was enthusiastic and well received even after the last curtain, and there were three or four curtains. Says the Times and Telegraph gave good notices, and that Yeats thought the play went well, and that Robinson thought the play was well acted. Says he will send programs.
Extra: Written from the Court Theatre

Says Ray could not have seen him on Saturday after a performance because he went back to Dublin that afternoon. Says he heard back from Yeats about "The White Feather", and he thinks Ray made the best thing he has done out of it. Says when he comes over to Dublin the next week he will talk to him about "The Gombeen Man" in America.

Says he is glad Ray altered the title, and that the play is being performed just as it is written, but a couple of sentences of the opening dialogue between Richard and Myers were cut for length. Says he will make sure Richard speaks the new ending. Says he is sorry to hear of Ray's son's death.
Extra: Written from the Court Theatre, no date given but due to reference of son's death, which was 1 June 1913, so it was written at least a few days after that.

Says various things have put off producing "The Gombeen Man" in Dublin, but that they have it down "for the 11th". Says Yeats has left Dublin but that Ray should send the new version of "The White Feather" to Dublin anyway.
Extra: Back to original Abbey letterhead, written from the Abbey in Dublin.

Apologises for not being at the theatre the night before and for missing Ray. Says he thinks the play went well, and that audiences seem deeply interested and impressed. Says not to pay too much attention to the Dublin critics, "they are a very poor set". Says he has not yet read the new "White Feather", and that they have not yet decided their bills for Cork.
