Typed letter signed, with an autograph postscript : Janeville, Slane, County Meath, Ireland, to Lady [Isabella Augusta] Gregory, 1914 June 24.

Sending her a play and hoping that she may think it good enough for production in the Abbey Theatre: "It has struck me quite recently that there are other things a peasant poet may write about than the blackbird singing in a rainbow. The plot of the enclosed play came to me as as [sic] plots come to most authors, after careful consideration and a thorough knowledge of the people about whom they write. I conceived the idea of the play the other week on the bridge of London, and cast a rough synopsis of it on a set along the Embankment."
