Dear Mr. Joyce,
I am sorry to say the representative of the American Syndicate to
whom I submitted your play has returned it, as she does not think it would
be suitable for the American public for which they cater. She was quite
enthusiastic about the play, said it was "beautifully written, and there were
some poignant scenes in it," [
quotation marks handwritten]
but
she feared it would only appeal to a small and very special public, and she
therefore had to return it reluctantly. Is there any other manager you would
specially like me to show the play to? I am holding it until I hear from
you.
