Dalby, Simon, Professor EmeritusLetter to Walsh from Captain Frederick Moore (screen and radio rights), ‘associated with William C. Winship Agency, 8506 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California’, referring to the rights of the 'Thomasheen James’ stories about which he has been in contact with Brandt and Brandt. He has not yet received their reply. He has ‘a definite plan’ for the stories, but ‘without a green light and a clearance of the rights to handle the material, we’d be working blind’. He has not seen Alex McLaren for some time.
Walsh, Maurice (1879-1964), writerLetter to Walsh from Moses [Greeph, 5 Maretimo Gardens West, Blackrock, county Dublin] enclosing a typescript draft of the short story The Honest Fisherman. He cites particular aspects and parts of it for praise and concludes: ‘It’s as fresh as a mountain stream.’ Draft begins: ‘Listen to me know!' (pages 1-20). Pagination.
Walsh, Maurice (1879-1964), writerLetter to Walsh from Carl Brandt, Brandt and Brandt, 101 Park Avenue, New York, enclosing the typescript edited version of the short story Thomasheen James and the Dangerous Age which will be published in the Saturday Evening Post. States that the cutting was necessary due to the length. Typescript begins: ‘That year I did not take my annual holiday until September’ (22 pages). Pagination.
Walsh, Maurice (1879-1964), writerLetter to Walsh from Desmond Williams, Savermo (Éire) Limited., Patrick Street, Tullamore, county Offaly. States that the story should be ‘printed in a form most acceptable to the U.S.A.’ The fee requested by Walsh is too high, the main reason being the fact that ‘the main body of the story is not an “original”’. Williams had half that sum in mind. Marketing the product in the U.S. is very expensive. Hopes that Walsh will reconsider.
