Correspondence from William Butler Yeats to Lady Gregory
18 Woburn Buildings
Saturday [Postmarked April 28, 1900]
My dear Lady Gregory:
If Synge is in Paris, and is in his old rooms his address is
John M Synge 90 Rue d'Assas Paris
If you see him please give him my apologies for not having written to him and say that I have meant to do so month by month. You might suggest too that he send some essay or the like to
The Editor of the Dome Unicorn Press 7 Cecil Court St Martin's Lane
and say that I suggested it.
There is nothing at the Irish Lit on Saturday. Certainly I shall keep Thursday free. I shall be glad when you are back.
I am expecting every moment a telegram to say how the case goes at the Courthouse. I have had to go through this worry for the sake of old friends, and perhaps above all for my uncle['s] sake. If I had not the whole system of teaching would have gone to wrack and this would have been a great grief to him and others, whose whole religious life depends on it. I do not think I shall have any more bother for we have got things into shape and got a proper executive now and even if we lose the case it will not cause any confusion though it will give one Crowley, a person of unspeakable life, the means to carry on a mystical society which will give him control of the conscience of many.
I hope to be deep in my novel by Monday. Yours always.
W B Yeats
