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.

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”

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.

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”.

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.

Enclosed check of £4.16.7 in fees for The Casting Out of Martin Wheelan. Says he sent the script of the play as arranged, and that when Brophy is finished with it to send it back to him. Also says he enclosed 4 programs picked up in the theater, and that they are cleared of any of them. Says the Leader article was very funny, and there is a good article in The Stage. “The Casting Out of Martin Wheelan” is written in Brophy’s hand, in pencil, on the left-hand side.

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”.

Thanks him for his efforts on behalf of the Abbey, hopes the results will be good for both of them. Says that Brophy should have come and see them. Says he hopes to see him in Cork.

Allgood asking Brophy to clarify on “two little matters” about The White Feather, because she is stage managing it. She then asks if certain changes can be made in the script. She asks about the second act and if Dillon knows that her son has murdered the owner of the estate. Second, she asks if on pg 43 in Act 2 Brophy can change some offstage voices to a person coming onstage to deliver news. Written on Abbey theatre stationary, Norreys Connell no longer listed as a director.

Allgood tells Brophy she encloses the last act of The White Feather. Says that she has not yet sent it to a typer, and will wait until he sends the alterations to the act before doing so. Mentions that all revisions are submitted to the Directors. "The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet" by Bernard Shaw now appears on the Abbey letterhead
