2pp., 12mo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. He thanks him for his 'most generous & warming letter' about his 1927 comedy 'The Fanatics'. He has not answered sooner as he was 'suddenly caught up in some very hectic & engrossing rehearsals for "Rhinoceros" at the Court Theatre'. He has written 'a good many plays - but for the last few years have been interesteed in adapting the most famous of the Moliere plays (all of which are published by Samuel French) - & most of my others (which were all about contemporary issues) have become dated.' He considers 'Six Men of Dorset', published by Gollancz in 1934, an exception to this rule.
