Also includes correspondence with Paul Vincent Carroll regarding the Abbey theatre production of the play in Dublin, in letter dated 21 August 1939 from Edward Choate addressed to Paul Vincent Carroll, Carroll writes 'I was delighted to hear that the Abbey is doing a production of the play - both for selfish reasons and for your sake. I am going to make every effort to get over to Ireland to see it next month.' Also includes a letter dated 23 August 1939 from Arthur Shields at The Hollywood Athletic Club addressed to Edward Choate, Shields writes 'There is a lot of work to be done on "Kindred" yet. I still think the scene with the two figures is just a little too long but I am not fearful the way Dudley[Digges] is.' Also includes letter dated 2 September 1939 from Edward Choate, addressed to Aideen O'Connor at 307 East 44th Street, New York City, advising her that 'The production date [of Kindred] has been unavoidably advanced, due to the outbreak of war in Europe which will prevent Paul Vincent Carroll, the author, from coming to this country as he planned.'
