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.

Says in reply to Ray's letter, they planned the Cork program and cannot alter it

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.
