Summary
Thanking Manvell for sending him a programme from his production of Bottomley's play "Marsaili's weeping" at Stratford and sending him a report on the production written by his friend [Francis] Sladen-Smith, along with his commendation of Sladen-Smith as a discerning and sympathetic critic; comments on the actor and festival judge Mr. [Randle] Ayrton and his lack of affinity for verse drama; responding to inquiries regarding his play "Gruach", with a review of its production history; observations regarding the cuts made to "Marsaili's weeping" for Manvell's production at Stratford and the Straftord stage as an inappropriate venue for his work; responding to an offer to have a special performance of "Marsaili's weeping" held for him by the cast of Manvell's production.
