Sherwood comments on the draft of "Gainsborough Girls" sent by Beaton. He initially praises the play. He stresses the importance of keeping an 18th century feel throughout. He was disappointed by the final act. He exposes his criticisms and makes detailed suggestions for improvement. He hopes that Beaton's play will show in London in the spring and adds that he hates receiving these kinds of letters himself. |
