Dear 2nd.

D.O. [Dorothy Olsen] glad to hear from you—at L. A. S. T.

     

[illegible]!

     

Glad you like D.O. So do I, at times.

     

Good luck to your campaign against the circumcized dogs.

     

I am asked to write poems about Emil Fuchs'[1] work. God I haven't heard the name for 30 years. Sounded familiar somehow—yes—no, I can't be mistaken. By Jove, yes! That shirt that that old washerwoman loved to smell!

 

P.S. Your small theatre! You should play "The Saviour" ([illegible] April 1918—or 1919? I forget) Maurice Browne accepted it, but had to shut down 'cos of war. This and "The Ghouls" and one smaller piece could make an A.1. triple bill.

1—[Emil Fuchs, MVO, (9 August 1866 – 13 January 1929) was an Austrian and American sculptor, medallist, painter, and author who worked in Vienna, London and New York. He painted portraits of Queen Victoria and Edward VII and was fashionable among London high society in the early 20th century.]
