I hate to make any new dickers with the magazine people and that’s
why I put the matter so strenuously up to you. I know now how much
better (financially) the stage business is:--thanks to you.
Tell Oom Paul Armstrong that I hope he’ll crack the safe for all
it’s worth in “Alias Jimmy”. I got the press notices that you had
sent me.
I’m awfully sorry to have to come back to town and write a better
play than Mr. Armstrong has--but I need the money--he won’t mind.
