Says he has not yet seen “Gombeenism”, but will ask Yeats to show it to him. Says that Yeats thought it would be good “when somewhat altered”, and that they may be able to get to it in the autumn when they are in Dublin and are able to put on new work. Also says he doesn't know if they will be able to put on Martin Whelan before they go to England, but not to be too discouraged because he thinks Whelan is good except for some of the speeches of the principal characters which he describes as “unlifelike”. Asks Brophy not to grudge him for producing a new play, that he has not done one for two years and if Brophy’s new play is put on in the autumn it would be “just the same rate of progression”. Abbey stationery is drastically different (simpler) from 1911.

A detailed critique of "Gombeenism" compared to "The Casting Out of Martin Whelan", such as plot and character that were stronger in Whelan. Also mentions meeting with Yeats to discuss Ray's play and most recent changes. 1912 is written in pencil in the top right-hand corner. Letter is handwritten by Robinson

Says that he is sorry the play wasn’t complete, and the man who looks after the MS wasn't there so he had to find it himself. Says he sends it now complete. They had to cut down the third act, and is sending two versions of it. Says that since Brophy is re-writing the principal parts he will probably alter the end himself a good deal. Asks for the revised version the next month to put it on with the first company before Christmas, and if not in time then it won’t be done until spring by the second company. Says he has heard nothing about “the new play”. The word “play” in the first sentence is underlined in pencil, and above it is written “Casting Out of Martin Whelan” in Ray’s handwriting. The letterhead is in its more basic form again, with Fred O'Donovan listed as the Business Manager, and Nugent Monck listed as the Controller

Says he has received the new version of Martin Whelan, and that it is tentatively down for December 5th. Back to more detailed Abbey letterhead.

Says he has now read Martin Whelan and thinks it is good. Sending it to Mr. Yeats to read and if he is happy with it they will produce it on December 5th. Says the autumn program is mapped out very carefully that it is impossible to change the date, but he will remember that Brophy would prefer it done in November. Says he spoke to Yeats about Gombeenism when he was up, and says Yeats thinks it needs a good deal of alteration, and that if he (Yeats) had the play with him he might have written to Brophy about it. Says there would be no harm in Brophy writing to Yeats in London about it. Written on the bare Abbey letterhead. The word “gombeenism” is scribbled on the left-hand margin next to the second paragraph about “the new play”.

Says he encloses "Gombeenism" with Yeats' criticism. Says that Yeats said in a letter that the play could not be produced as it was, but with some edits and rewrites it could be.
