Dear Dad.

I am " up to my eyes ". MacMillan have agreed to publish a big vol. of the Fenollosa plays, as soon as I choose to send in mss. ( that is for both Eng. and the U.S.A. ). "Lustra" is getting published with only a few omissions. Lady Cunard has been very kind in hunting up supplies for Joyce, who is still stranded in Zurich. We have been given free run of the ARIAL Aldwych for the opera season. Began on Tristan last night and take the Magic Flute this evening. Beecham conducts very finely. Wagner is a bum artist. We expect more pleasure from the Mozart. They have collected some excellent singers and one or two who act extremely well.

Getting placed with MacMillan here, is quite a step onward. I dont suppose it will begin to be remunerative for some time, but still it is a sort of Bank of England firm. Quinn has offered his services in getting the U.S. Mac M's, to run all my stuff on your side of the ditch. I sent off his two "audier Statures" yesterday.

I may have to go to Dublin to manage the Abbey theatre for a few months this autumn.

Dulac has done a most noble caricature of yours truly. I will send a reproduction if there ever is one. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Am doing a brief note on Davies for "Poetry"
