Scope and Content

Letter from RD to his mother, relating to: money due to Rose Donat [from the estate of a relative]; the success of A sleeping clergyman at the Criterion Theatre; a recent meeting with J.B. Priestley (whose play at the New Theatre was outsold by RD's); his next film project, which will probably be Precious bane, made in the UK; and film offers he continues to receive from America, including one from Jimmy Cagney for The stray lamb.
