Letter to Walsh from Sears regarding The Man in Brown. He has not supplied any more information to Walsh because he cannot allow himself to think about something so ‘unreal’ due to the absence of characters. States ‘I hope you’re not feeling that the characters will not come to life if you have to make them behave the way I want rather than the way you feel they (?) go’. Encloses a conversation which could take place ‘between John Doe and the detective’. When he has written 5,000 or 10,000 words, Sears would like to receive them ‘for a few days’. Refers to ‘the last stuff I gave you’ which covered the trial. He thinks that the detective should not be present at the trial but should read a transcript of the evidence. The remainder of the document consists of ‘Gist of conversation between Sherlock Holmes and John Doe’, followed by a sketch map which Walsh had requested, and notes on it.

Letter to Walsh from Sears stating that he is enclosing a copy of the manuscript of The Man in Brown. He has also sent a copy to ‘Pedelty’. Believes that Walsh should sign the ‘agreement’ and had objected only because he was ‘thinking in terms of the theatre’. Believes that a film is ‘a chancy proposition’ and a producer could get all of the profit. The agreement which refers to the Abbey players is fair according to legal advice and indicates the standard which should be aimed at. They are ‘well ahead’ and ‘that increases the chance of a film being made this year’. The second writing can include aspects such as the love scenes which he will leave to Walsh.
