Letter to Walsh from Jackson (The Wee Hoose. Kingstree, South Carolina) outlining recent developments concerning the script. She realised ‘that the Dramatic Department of Brandt and Brandt was not functioning properly towards the play – and finally – in genuine alarm – I returned to New York’. She contacted Carl Brandt who referred her to Janet Cohn. However, the script had been sent, without Jackson’s permission, to ‘an unknown and unreliable producer’. She has now placed the play in the hands of John J. Wildberg (theatrical attorney), 545 Fifth Avenue, who is very efficient. She has returned to Kingstree to continue her quail shooting. She believes that a production can be secured, but it would not ‘had the thing been left with Brandt and Brandt Dramatic Department’.

Letter to Walsh from Katherine Forbes-Leith (Mrs. Baxter Jackson), 410 Park Avenue, New York. States that she will be finished with the script of the play based on The Road to Nowhere in three or four weeks. She believes that she and Walsh ‘should work hand and glove’ on any changes and be ‘allied against the frequent indiscretions and bad taste of producer, director and scenic designers’. She hopes that she is ‘not too sanguine’ about its prospects of ‘reaching the rehearsal stage’. She is keen to have Wash’s suggestions about the dialogue, especially that of Elizabeth (Elspeth).
